Regional Meetings at a Glance
The Foothills Daylily Society is announcing the postponement of the 2020 Summer Regional that we were to host. The uncertainty of the COVID-19 virus and the ever-changing timeline of the social distancing law makes the decision to postpone this summer’s event a reasonable one. We have already reserved next summer’s date to host the 2021 summer regional. We were excited to host this year’s event, and we will be even more excited to host next year’s regional. We would like to thank the members that have already registered for this year’s event and hope you will register next year, too. Refund checks will be mailed out this week, so you should receive them soon. If you booked a room at the Baymont, be sure to cancel. Be safe during this summer. We look forward to seeing you next year. Watch the emails and the Hemalina for details about next summer’s regional. See you all at the Fall Regional at Kill Devil Hills.

Regional Meeting Planning Guides
Region 15 Clubs Please Considering Hosting a Summer or Fall Regional Meeting,
Attached are PDF guides for hosting a Summer or Fall regional meeting. If you are considering hosting a regional meeting, these guides can be used to understand the process, as well as the individual tasks and pieces needed for planning and hosting a Summer or Fall event. Hopefully you will find this information useful, and a good guide.
As many of you know that have been a part of planning a regional meeting for your club in the past, these meetings are not as difficult to plan as they may first appear, and will be a fun event for your club. They do require some early planning, and help from a number of club members in order to spread around the task load, but when the event gets there and the regional members arrive for the weekend of events, you will see a lot of appreciation, and hear a lot of thank-you's, which makes the planning and work that you did so worthwhile.
In addition, as we spread these Summer and Fall events around the region, it gives each of our regional clubs the opportunity to support the region, which is all of us individually, and helps fund the regional newsletter, The Hem-alina, we all enjoy, which is the primary expense for the region. And please do remember that The Hem-alina and region does not have any other funding or income other than auctions at these meetings, and the generous donations made by many clubs within the region. Please do consider hosting a Summer or Fall meeting in the coming years.
***Important***
Attached are two MS. Word files you can print out and use. If you have more questions, need guidance, or help getting the process started, please contact our regional president or the regional meetings liaison...
