Magnolia Robin Membership Information:
One great benefit of the Magnolia Society is the opportunity to join a Magnolia Robin. This is a group of 6-12 members that regularly correspond with each other with a cumulative correspondence progressing from one member to the next. Each time a member receives the group correspondence they remove their old contribution and add a new one and send the 'Robin on its flight' to the next member on the list.
Currently one Robin is now e-mail only and one by written letters (though this may change). This is a great way to share and learn more about our favorite plant and to make new friends with people of like interest.
Anyone interested in joining a Magnolia Robin should contact Mark Haimes at:
(303) 442-7370 or 2177 Jordan Place;
Boulder, Colorado (USA) 80304
PLEASE - DO NOT send Robin subject matter or membership questions to the web master.
Select the flight that you want to visit. The most current flight is at the top.
This page, by its nature, will always be under-going development.
