NEW PRESIDENT
MIKE SHOUP
has been elected by your trustees to lead the HRF into the next chapter
FROM MIKE:
Stephen has decided to step down from the presidency of HRF after years of incredible leadership. I am so honored that the board has entrusted me to try to fill those shoes as we go forward. I am, even in my retirement from growing and selling roses, very excited about HRF. As stewards of rose preservation, thru avenues of education like conventions and seminars (especially in beautiful garden venues), newsletters, libraries, and ultimately a collection of roses in one or more dedicated gardens, it is easy to want to be involved. But most of all my greatest joy will be meeting new enthusiast friends and reacquainting with old friends. We rosers are a special group….
See you soon.
