Getting Started

The Mid Atlantic African Violet Society convention for 2007 was held in York, PA and hosted by the Baltimore AVS. We had perfect Fall weather with beautiful  blue skies, abundant sunshine and  temperatures around 70 degrees.  Show Chair Marie Burns and Convention Chair Carol Hamelink teamed up with the members of the Baltimore AVS to put on a memorable show. Our hotel was spacious with a first class commercial sales room and a beautiful well lit and well decorated showroom to display an array of spectacular horticulture and design.
