Meetings general consist of a short business meeting, a review of the Plant of the Month and a special topic or lecture. BOS Society members display flowering orchids at each meeting. Plants are awarded points. At the end of the year a cash award is given to the top points winners and runners up. This is equivalent to a mini-monthly flower show representing a large variety of orchids. A quick review of the Plants of the Month provides information on the culture of the species that wins.

 Guests are always welcome to Society meetings.

NEWSLETTER: Members receive the Batavia Orchid Society Newsletter, which is printed monthly and mailed at the beginning of each month. It contains information on the next meeting, current news, and a listing of Plants of the Month awarded at the previous meeting.
