On Sunday afternoon, April 7, 1968, an enthusiastic group of daylily growers met in the Ruiz House at the Witte Memorial Museum, San Antonio, and laid the groundwork for a Region 6 Daylily Society in San Antonio.

The following were elected as the first officers: Mrs. Emma Nelson, Chairman; Mrs. Lawrence Cade, Secretary; and Mr. John McLane, Treasurer Mrs. Hallie Mercer, Mrs. Russell Whipp, and Mrs. R. L. Shields were chosen to draw up the Society's Constitution and By-Laws.
