2013 Club Plant Eligibility

A club plant is a reward for being an active member of the club. In 2013, CVIDS will use a portion of its funds to buy some choice daylilies that will be distributed in the spring to eligible members to grow in their garden for two years. Members choose their plants in a lottery draw. Members are asked to help evaluate the characteristics and hardiness of their chosen cultivar in this area. It is expected that the member will treat their club plant with kindness yet let the plant experience the same growing conditions that make our Eastern Iowa area an unique one. In August 2015, members will keep a plant equal to the original size (number of fans) that they received and return all fan increases to CVIDS for its Silent and Live Auctions that month. At that time, the largest double fan will be awarded to the highest bidder, and any additional increases will also be auctioned.

Eligibility Requirements:
To be eligible to receive a club plant for the current year, a member must have:

  • paid membership dues for both 2012 and 2013 (paid by April 1 of each year). 

  • contributed to the club’s activities during 2012 (January 1 through December 31) by undertaking any two of the following:
    (1) attended two club meetings (includes garden tour but not the banquet)
    (2) served as a CVIDS Board member
    (3) chaired or co-chaired a committee
    (4) donated plants to a club sale
    (5) assisted at the CVIDS plant sales or auctions
    (6) presented a club program
    (7) hosted a CVIDS garden tour
    (8) written an article for the newsletter
    (9) bid in the Silent Auction of returning club plants
    (10) performed any other activity that contributes to the success of the club, as
    determined by the Board

Selection by Proxy:
 If a member with eligibility to receive a plant is unable to attend the Plant Distribution, he/she may assign a proxy to select a plant for them during the drawing. However, the member must inform the Treasurer of their designated proxy prior to the Plant Distribution. If no proxy is designated, no plant will be chosen for them.
