On a beautiful Tuesday evening, Colleen welcomed garden club members to the last meeting of 2022. Blooming in member gardens: Zinnia, Cosmos, Dahlias, Verbena Bonariensis, Montauk Daisies, Coneflowers and more.
A recording secretary is still needed for the next term. Duties are to record the meeting minutes and highlights from our speaker or tour. The notes then get sent to the Vice President who then forwards it on to our blogger. If the recording secretary is unable to make the meeting, they just need to notify the President who will make arrangements for another member to take notes for that meeting. This is a great way to be involved in the club. If interested, please reach out to our current president, Colleen or next year’s president Nancy.
Dues of $15 are due now. If you forgot or didn’t make the meeting, please send a check to Denny and Linda Brown.
Andrea volunteered to do the directory which will be streamlined. The suggestion was made to add cell phone numbers to the directory. Please submit all contact changes to Linda Brown. If you are not amenable to receiving texts please let Linda know. If everyone has a cell phone number, and is amenable to receiving texts, the phone change will be eliminated.
Sign up sheet for the monthly meeting dessert/arrangement was distributed. If you were unable to attend, please reach out to Jane MacCredie. Most slots were filled, but as of the end of the meeting, there were a few slots still open.
Dianne provided a treasurer’s report. After donations totaling $1,000 and dues deposit of $360, our ending checking balance was $4,857.15. Along with petty cash, total cash available is $4,904.21.
As of today’s meeting, 18 members have signed up for the tour and 22 for the Christmas luncheon on November 12. Denny will reach out to the members who had not yet responded to get a final count.
Mary Anne has been working diligently on the programs for 2023, and has made a lot of progress, with most of the year already having been decided. May, July and September were still open, so please send any suggestions you might have to Mary Anne
Next year’s plant sale will be held on May 20. With the beautiful weather we’ve been having, it’s a great time to get a jump on potting up plants for next year’s sale, one less thing to do in the spring.
Program: Our very own Victoria Ziegler led us in a group activity of creating a swag or table decoration. A good time was had by all, and lots of beautiful decorations were created.
