We can keep you in the membership files only until the next newsletter goes to print, then, with regret, we will have to assume you no longer wish to be a CONPS member. Your support of CONPS is most appreciated by the Colorado native flora. Also, please return the pink questionaire with you thoughts and comments, Myrna stein kamp Membership Chairman Reported by the Norther Nevada Native Plant Society Newsletter, Vol, 8, No. 7, September 1982- - Fred E. Fungus was introduced to Alice Algae. They soon became acquainted and after a bit they quickly developed a "lichen” for each other. However, sadly enough, a rift developed between them and their incipient romance went on the rocks. f='l_f=lS|-l ! ! I V/E F^i_#=iraT" WORKSMOR ! ! Horticulture Se Rehabilitation Committee CMiair Qayle Weinstein and her committee members are hard at work planning a wc^kshop on the land- scaping and horticultural uses of native plants. To be co-sponsored by CCHhP'S and the Denver Botanic Gardens, the worksht^ will be held August I 9th at the Denv^ Botanic Bardens. Tentative plans call for the program to consist of morning lecture sessions and afternoon work- shops- The morning program will be organized around the plant zones outlined in Pesman’s "Meet The Natives," with information presented for each zone on natural plant associations, cultural requirements and adaptability to land- scaping uses, and landscape use and design. Such topics as locating and establishing plants in a bluegrass lawn, how/how not and where/where not to use native plants, and how to plan for long-term appearance as well as developing landscapes will be consid^ed. Mark your calendars now, and watch for further details in future newsletters!

This action was taken in hope the new, smaller, number would facilitate chapter formation in several Colorado locations. At present, only Fort Collins has a chartered Chapter - The Membership Committee is compiling responses regarding interest in chapters and in chapter organizing (from the “pink sheet" questionnaires enclosed with the dues notice), and soon will be contacting persons in areas where sufficient interest in forming a chapter appears to exist. But don't wait take the initiative to form a chapter in your area. The Membership Committee is ready and willing to help you identify members in the geographic area of interest, and the Board and officers of the Society are willing to assist fledgling chapters in any possible way. Organizing a chapter is not only the best way to get to know fellow plant enthusiasts in your area, but also makes it possible to educate and inform yourself and others about the many fascinating aspects of our Colorado plants and plant communities. In addition, chapter activities are perhaps the best way to attract new members to our Society. For everyone's information, we are printing here the Society's rules pertaining to chapters: ARTICLE VI. CHAPTERS Section 1. Organization Six or more members, other than organization members, of the Society may organize a chapter of the Society by submitting to the Secretary a petition giving the names and addresses of the six or more members. The Secretary shall submit the petition to the Board of Directors for approval - Section 2. Design at ion Such chapter shall be designated as "The Chapter of the Colorado Native Plant Society." Section 3. Chagter_Qf facers Each chapter shall elect annually a President and such officers as it deems suitable, necessary, and convenient to accomplish the purposes of the chapter. The election of officers shall be accomplished so that offices will be taken as of October 1. Any chapter officer may succeed himself. Section 4. Chapter By laws The members of each chapter may adopt bylaws for the governing of the chapter, provided that the bylaws are not inconsistent with the Society Bylaws or the Articles of Incorporation. If adopted, a copy of such bylaws shall be deposited with the Secretary of the Society. Section 5. Members Members of the Society shall be entitled to all the rights and privileges of such membership. Only members of the Society shall be entitled to chapter membership. Sec t i on 6 . Chap t er_dut^es The members of each chapter shall hold meetings at such times and places as it deems suitable, necessary, and convenient to accomplish the purposes of the Society and chapter. Each chapter shall hold at least six such meetings annually. The members of each chapter shall elect officers as outlined in Article VI, Section 3, of these Bylaws. The members and officers of a chapter shall have the responsibility of fostering the Society's goals. The this end, each chapter shall have the primary responsibility to represent the Society in its area and to initiate programs and actions consistent with the Society's purposes. A chapter shall inform the Board of Directors or regional activity by forwarding reports and other pertinent documents to the Secretary. Section 7. Withdrawal of Chapte r S tatus The Board of Directors may terminate or suspend the chapter status and privileges of a chapter if the membership of the chapter consists of less than six members or if the chapter takes any action inconsistent with the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Society. Section 8. LiOlitati on _of Chapter Author ^t^ In the absence of express authorization by the Board of Directors, no chapter, chapter officer, or chapter member shal 1 have power to act or bind the Society in any manner. No chapter shall have any proprietary interest in the name "Colorado Native Plant Society." Each chapter's right to use as part of its name or designation the words "The Colorado Native Plant Society" shall cease upon the termination or suspension of its status as a chapter - (End of ARTICLE VI. Chaeters) A few final notes about chapters. The president of a local chapter becomes a full, voting member of the Society's Board of Directors. Members of chapters must also be members of the Colorado Native Plant Society. Nonmembers may participate in functions organized and sponsored by the Society or by a chapter, but they are not accorded the privileges of membership (voting, holding office, receiving mailed information, etc.). Finally, chapters are supported in part through their own fund-raising efforts and in part by the return of a portion of each CONPS member's dues to the chapter to which he or she elects to belong.
