Our last meeting of the 2008-2009 Garden Club year was held on May 11, 2009. Thanks to Susan Noel for the use of her home.
Our outgoing President, Billie Fontana, and Treasurer, Nicole Alvarez were presented with an award of thanks and appreciation for their time and dedication to the startup of the Club in 2007.
The incoming President, Debbie Haluch and Secretary/Treasurer, Patti Foucha, were installed as officers and gave an overview of the plans for the 2009-2010 year. Many great things are in store for our Garden Club.
We are working with both the HOA and the builders to help get our Club recognized by more of our neighbors. We are busy firming up the speakers for next year, working on the startup of the Yard of the Month, planning tours and trips (we are trying to plan one for the summer – more info on that at a later date), working to get discounts at some of the local vendors, and of course, continuing to gather information for our Butterfly Garden.
We would like to thank those who have come forward to head special projects:
Billie Fontana - Obtaining grants for the Butterfly Garden
Helen Lombardo and Tony VanGessel - Yard of the Month
Cathy Oland – Tours and Trips
Bonnie Segura- Organizing and Maintaining information for the Butterfly Garden
There are many other special projects that will need volunteers. Over the next few months, think about how YOU would like to be involved, and let’s get these projects rolling in September!! If you have any ideas on special projects, let me know!
If you are interested in buying a Garden Club T Shirt, please e mail us at the club e mail (cclgc1@gmail.com) and let me know your size. The shirts will be white with our logo on the front. I am also getting the costs on white or gray sun visors – please let me know if you would be interested in those as well. The cost on these items will depend on how many we order, so the more we order the better the cost!
Have a great summer and remember to check back often as we will update the blog over the summer months.
Patti
