Cactus Courier
Newsletter of the Cactus and Succulent Society of San Jose

Due to the Shelter-in-Place order, we cannot predict when regular meetings will resume.

Virtual Show & Tell


Join us online on Sunday, September 13th, at 12:30 PM, for a Virtual Show and Tell via Zoom. Show us a plant — or a pot, a tool, something in some way related to the care and raising of cacti and succulents — and tell us the story behind it.

In order to reduce the odds of a zoombombing, we're having folks register in advance for the event. To do so, just visit the registration page and send us your name and e-mail address. You should get a response, with instructions for joining the meeting, within a day.

We look forward to seeing you!

Zoom doesn’t run in your browser. It is a desktop app, and there are also mobile apps you can download in your device’s app store to watch on a phone or tablet. If it’s your first time using zoom, click the link below and it will automatically take you through a download process. If you already have Zoom installed, you can click and go straight in, or open zoom and use the meeting ID and password to get in. At some point you may be asked a question about audio. “Join with computer audio” is the right choice. Don’t worry, you will be able to keep your microphone muted until you are ready to speak.


Don't forget to share an image for our online show and tell. Maybe, what you were going to bring in for the Spring Show? Whatever is spectacular in your garden right now is fair game. ONE per person please (per month). The photos will be shown on our Facebook page.

You can email your image to: sjcactussucculent@gmail.com
