VISIT TO CENTRAL FLORIDA FERNS and CHARLES & HELENE JAROS
As you know, we have been invited by Charles and Helene Jaros to visit their home in Sandford to see their ferns and other plants and to share in lunch. The trip was scheduled for September 29, 2001. However, Charles and Helene have been tempoarily stranded on the west coast and cannot get a flight back in time to arrange for the visit. So we will have to postpone or cancel the visit. We will keep you informed if the trip is re-scheduled. You may wish to keep the directions to Central Florida Ferns printed below for future reference.
�
Stay tuned for a re-scheduling of this trip.
