Rescue Sales	News & Events	Monthly Meetings
The next cactus rescue sale is TBD. 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.	The next monthly meeting is on Thursday July 2, 2009. Dr. Mary Olsen, Ph.D. will hold a talk about "Diseases of Cacti and Succulents". During our last meeting Greg Corman gave a great presentation about "Designing with Cacti and Succulents", where we learned some of the basics of designing gardens, and especially how to use native plants in our gardens.

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 School Grant Program. We welcome everyone to come to our meetings and join us in the fun and excitement.
