Google publicizes us (as AGGS)

Using Gmail to correspond with a gesneriad friend the other day, I was presented with the following in the margin of email, courtesy of Google's automated system which scans email content and places sponsored and related links on the side:
Related Pages

AGGS Home Page
Offers complete culture information, membership benefits, resources, ...
www.aggs.org
Fortunately, The Gesneriad Society has kept the www.aggs.org domain address indefinitely, and it forwards to our current address of www.gesneriadsociety.org. I'm happy for the publicity courtesy of Google's automated system, and can't complain too much that they used our old domain name.

Links added

Per Paul's suggestion, I've added some links. If anyone has some other good gesneriad-related links, please let me know.

First day as President

Gesneriad Society Convention, Miami, Florida, 2:30 PM

At this afternoon's Board Meeting, the Board elected me President of The Gesneriad Society for a two-year term. As President I am looking forward to hearing from others who share an interest in gesneriads. How do we improve our Society, how can we serve our Members better, how can we spread the word about these wonderful plants so that others may share our enjoyment? Do you have suggestions for this blog -- content, links, photos? Please feel free to respond by commenting to my posts, or by emailing me (address link is in my Profile).

Good growing,

Peter
