Monthly Meetings

Meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month at the Canoga Park Women's Club, 7401 Jordan Avenue at the corner of Valerio and Jordan, 2 blocks east of Topanga Canyon Blvd, between Sherman Way and Saticoy St. Refreshments, beginning at 7:00 pm, provide an opportunity for all to socialize. At 7:30 pm a brief business meeting is convened, followed by the evening's program.

Throughout the year the monthly programs focus on a wide array of topics pertaining to irises, and, on occasion, to compatible companion plants. Two very popular potluck dinner meetings are held each year in December and June.

Newsletter

SFVIS members receive a copy of the society's newsletter, "Irisarian," The monthly "Irisarian" serves as a timely "bulletin board" by providing members with details of the next meeting, with a calendar of dates for upcoming Region 15 and SFVIS events, and with information about important SFVIS issues.

Iris Shows

One of the premiere SFVIS events held each Spring is an American Iris Society sanctioned horticultural and artistic competition for members and the public to exhibit well grown, well groomed irises to be judged for awards. The SFVIS Annual Spring Show also offers an artistic competition for floral arrangements featuring Iris.
