EIOS members Nile and Lois Dusdieker attended the World Orchid Congress and will likely show more photos of the meeting at future EIOS Club meets.
The Eastern Iowa Orchid Society (EIOS), formerly the Iowa City Orchid Society, is as our logo states “A small group of people with a big love of growing orchids”. Members come from all around eastern Iowa. We meet at the Shueyville Church, Shueyville, Iowa. No meeting July or August. The church is located 1 mile EAST of Exit 10 (Swisher-Shueyville) off interstate 380. Our meetings begin with a social time at 6:30 pm; followed by the official meeting and an educational program at 7:00 pm. Meetings are free and open to anyone interested in orchids! Our club displays orchids at regional orchid shows and participates in American Orchid Society orchid judging. Meetings include educational programs on beginning orchid growing, discussion about various types of orchids, and orchid conservation. Check out our brief video!

Our club activities will now be highlighted under the web tab Club News instead of quarterly newsletters. Our past newsletters are still listed. This was necessary as the program format for the old newsletters is no longer supported. The News section will continue to contain photos of member's orchids, educational material, and summary of meeting activities.
The EIOS Picnic at the home of Nile and Lois Dusdieker on June 7th was well attended and several donated treasures were found on the $2,3,5 tables.
The club does not meet during the summer
Our first Fall meeting will be after Labor Day on Sept. 10th at the Shueyville Church - social at 6:30 and program at 7.
