January
Mark Muradian will give a program entitled "Peru, Land of the
Inca, Land of Cacti." This program was taken in September of 2010.
Starting in Chiclayo and ending in Cuzco, they travelled by bus to many
habitats, sometimes on roads no bus should ever attempt to drive! This
program is a video presentation, with all the sounds and motion to help
the
viewer feel as if they are there. With the optional fly over of the Nazca
lines and the mandatory visit to Machu Picchu, this was an exciting trip
to be on.
Mark has been in the cactus hobby close to 30 years and has been making
pottery for some 17 years. Mark is a third-generation family farmer in the
central valley, farming some acreage since 1915.
Mark will be bringing pottery to sell at the meeting.
