2005 Orchid Dinner is a Success
Orchid Members Celebrate Forum's Achievements at Annual Dinner

    This year's Orchid Dinner once again brought Orchid members
    face-to-face-some for the very first time-to celebrate the
    achievements and highlight the growth of the Orchid online forum
    they all support. Three hundred and twenty-five Orchidians attended
    the ninth-annual dinner event sponsored by Rio Grande and held at
    the Savoy Opera House in Tucson, making it the largest and most
    successful Orchid gathering yet. 

    Orchid, an online forum offered through the Ganoksin website,
    provides the world's largest free exchange of substantive technical
    content, spanning a variety of subjects pertaining to the gem and
    jewelry industries. The 5200-member community exchanges
    industry-specific information, ideas and opinions, often while
    cultivating close relationships through frequent interaction. Each
    year, community members gather to attend the Tucson dinner to
    further their relationships as well as to share information about
    Ganoksin and the many benefits of its resources. 

    In a speech he presented at the dinner, Hanuman, the architect
    behind Orchid and the Ganoksin project, highlighted significant
    accomplishments in 2004 that resulted in substantial growth for the
    online forum. He noted that the number of articles in the Ganoksin
    library has doubled due to new alliances with leading trade
    magazines, publications and authors. Through a mutual project with
    AJM magazine, Orchid will also produce and publish a series of books
    called "Orchid in Print" which will focus on specific equipment and
    techniques for the bench jeweler. 

    In addition, the website has added a video component to allow
    visitors to view live metals demonstrations, as well as an "Industry
    Trade Index" containing over 700 websites in 168 categories and a
    compiled comprehensive bibliography of selected books and magazines
    covering a broad range of gem and jewelry topics-all available for
    purchase online through Ganoksin. 

    Hanuman concluded his speech by saying, "I look forward to the
    coming year as we are poised to provide even greater service to the
    trade and public." 

    Ganoksin and the Orchid forum welcome and encourage everyone in the
    jewelry industry to experience the community that it offers. To
