President's Message                 

Palm Beach Chapter of Rare Fruit Council International 

Dear RFC members,

The Upcoming Speaker February 2026 is as follow:

The February 13th Meeting is Cancelled

Reason:

On Mon, Jan 12, 2026, at 14:35 Elinor Broullon C. The administrative II assistant at Mounts Botanical Gardens has indicated that Mounts has a conflict with the Rare Fruit Council meeting on the 13th of February due to Mounts Botanical Gardens' upcoming big plant sale.  According to Elinor Broullon, they need that space for setup overnight to be in place for the next day.  

Therefore, we will be cancelling our February 13th meeting and resume our normal meeting March 13th at 7:00 pm.

We look forward to seeing you on the 13th of March, 2026. 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Palm Beach Chapter Rare Fruit Council International
