Rescue Sales	News & Events	Monthly Meetings
Rescued saguaro and golden hedgehogs will be for sale at the Sonoran Conference from 9am to 5pm on Saturday, May 10th and Sunday, May 11th from 9am to 3pm. Come early for best selection. We have a new informational video about our cactus rescue program (12 minutes, 16M file, only download if you have broadband access)! Click here to learn more about our cactus rescue program.	Tucson and TCSS in the news: an interview with Chris Monrad about the TCSS cactus rescue program; we're called "Cactus Huggers" in an Audubon Magazine article; on-line magazine Cultivar has an article about Crested Saguaros, including ones in Tucson, and there is an article about our rescue program in the Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet! Please read about our Conservation Grant Program and our Research Grant Program.	Important: there will be NO "first Thursday of the month" meeting in MAY. Instead, the monthly meeting will be the Friday night kick off of the Sonoran VII conference on May 9th, starting at 6:00 PM. It will be a plated dinner (cost $10 per member, cost included with conference attendees), a speaker, Susan Carter Holmes, at 7:00 PM, and then shopping starting about 8:00 pm to 9:30 for plants, pottery and books. For details, click here.

We conduct and sponsor native cactus and succulent rescue operations, plant sales, field trips, nursery and garden visits, conventions and conferences as well as other activities throughout the year. We set aside 25 percent of all cactus rescue profits for our newly formed Educational Outreach Grant Program. We welcome everyone to come to our meetings and join us in the fun and excitement.
