Ah, Youth

From an e-mail I received yesterday from the Morris Arboretum (where Al, the Beaner & I are members):

Last Chance for Moonlight & Roses registration
Deadline - 6/4/08

A truly enchanted evening at the Morris Arboretum
Friday, June 13, 2008
6 p.m. - Cocktails in the Rose Garden
8 p.m. - Midnight - Dinner and Dancing

The party begins at 6pm with cocktails in the Rose Garden and continues with dinner and dancing under the stars. Once again, guests will have the option to dine in one of two tents - the "Moonlight Tent" featuring soft music in an intimate setting (behind the Widener Visitors Center) or the "Rose Tent" featuring the music of Jellyroll, the party band back by popular demand for their sixth year at Moonlight & Roses.

Registration Options
Dinner and Cocktails starting at $250 per person
Cocktails Only starting at $125 per person
Young Friends Ticket Prices (for guests 35 and under)
Dinner and Cocktails - $125 per person
Cocktails Only - $65 per person

I had two thoughts when I read this: (1) wow, the gardening world really *does* skew older, if they consider a 35 year-old a "young friend", and (2) I'm too old to be considered a "young friend." Hmmm.
