I have been emailing Jafar about a new email list. This would be in case this HOS list stops working. I would want to keep in touch with you all. I can make the list on my yahoo mail account. I think I will call it PNWHO: Pacific Northwest Home Orchards. Of course, someone from a different area would be welcome. SPAMMERS would not. I haven't given up on this HOS list, but SPAM keeps increasing and the posts have been getting more scarce. Please let me know if you are interested in being on the list. I won't bother you with anything else, and I'm not selling anything.

I talked to Joanie just before she ended the HOS. She said it was mostly because we couldn't get enough volunteers for the events. There were plenty of members, plenty of people willing to attend the events, and plenty of money. It's just that you can't run the events without volunteers running them. I'm also glad that the HOS exists as an online forum. I do still think I have Miss Jessamine, but it's hiding on the back side of one of my trees.John S

John: You posted that one year plus ago (January 28, 2024 - 9:31 am). I copy pasted it to make it more clear to those newer people so that they can have a greater sense of our distress we have as volunteers. So the closure of our historic swap meets was due to manpower shortages ,essentially the same stress being felt now caused by spam.
Sorry to hear that you are still feeling that form of adversity, but at least you have my email to start over if necessary.
