Richard "Dick" Wiedhopf

This will be my 18^th consecutive term as your president.  This has been a great privilege and I have enjoyed every minute of it.  This will be a transition year so that a solid foundation for the future can be put in place.  There will also be a couple of milestones to celebrate:   2019 will be the twentieth anniversary of the Rescue Program and we hope to reach 100,000 plants rescued; 2020 will be the Societies 60^th birthday and we can celebrate that we are the largest local Cactus and Succulent Society in the World!
