Mail annual dues/gift subscription dues to:

The Palm Society of Southern California

Don Martin, President/Membership Chair

P.O. Box 1307 Valley Center, CA 92082-1307

 

This is the subscription that keeps on giving since the PSSC supports other botanical gardens like Huntington, Mathias, Quail, Mile Square Park, and others for the general benefit of the public. Conservation, research, and publications grants have also been a part of our past support activities but we are limited only by the operating funds derived from Journal subscriptions, raffles, and plant auctions held at our bimonthly meetings. As a non-profit organization, none of your officers, editors, area chairs, directors, or members-at-large are paid for their efforts. We contribute our time because we love palms and would like to share that interest with more people in Southern California. Please join, or if already a member, please encourage others to become members so that we may continue to provide you with this unprecedented level of Journal and Newsletter quality.

 

Please remember, memberships make great gifts.

 

The Palm Society of Southern California is the only organization dedicated to the hobby of growing palms in Southern California. We have been in operation since 1957. Join us today if you love palms like we do.
