    Dear All, 

    the season was down from last year significantly, in fact the entire
    year was. I have been going through cost of sales reduction in a big
    way for a year and a half other wise I think this season might have
    really put the hurt on me. Even though it was down my COS were also
    reduced by damn near the same percent leaving me wishing for a good
    economy and ready for it at the same time. 

    Tucson Orchid dinner looms. We are in the final leg of the planning
    race and have many improvements to the dinner's organization and
    physical set up. 

    These improvements will make the speaches more audible and with Rich
    Youmans of AJM coming to be the key note speaker, more important.
    Orchid is turning a corner this year and flexing it's muscles in
    terms of attracting the industry, the art and the trade. 

    If you are at all able to attend this year's dinner February 6th you
    really should.

    Register on the Orchid website, with paypal (You don't need to have
    PayPal account to register, all you need is your credit card) or send
    Pat a check made out to "Patania's Orchid" and mail it to: 

	Patania
	3000 E. Broadway , 
	Tucson , AZ 85716. 

    I had initially placed a $10 at the door charge to anyone who did not
    register early through paypal or sending a check to us here in
    Tucson. I am now doing away with that charge because I want more of
    you to come to the dinner. 

    If you would please let me know if you plan to attend, that will help
    with planning but, the door tickets will be the same price as the
    early registration, $35 per person. 

    This is the most direct way to support Ganoksin and the Orchid
    forum. Hanuman will be there if you missed the chance last year to
    meet him. It is a long expensive trip from Bangkok for he and Ton and
    this may be your only opportunity during 2004 to see them in the US.
    
    See you in Tucson, 

	February 6, 2004
	6:00 pm Cocktails
	7:00 pm Dinner 

	at 

	The El Parador Restaurant
	2744 East Broadway
	Tucson, Arizona 85716
	Tel: (520) 881-2808

    We need you there, don't under sell yourself, all of Orchid is
    important not only to each other but to the craft we all enjoy.
