The American Herbataurus Society will be having its annual meeting in Rock Falls, IL on November 1st and 2nd. Details can be found on the Society’s webpage www.americanherbataurus.com. This is a great organization and I encourage you to at least visit the site and look around even if you can’t make the meeting. The insightfulness of these folks is amazing.
