State Youth Writing Contest Winners!
The CCLGC sponsored several students in the State Youth Writing Contest. 4 of our students won! CONGRATULATIONS to Brynne Burnett, Joshua Miller, Mikaela Kufrovich and Canyon Evenson. Brynne and Joshua gave us the honor of hearing the poems that they had written. Great job to all!!
April General Meeting
Our April General Meeting was held this past Monday, April 9th. Our speakers were our very own members. Traditionally for our April meeting, we ask our members to bring their favorite plant or flower and tell everyone about it. It is a wonderful way for everyone to learn about a new plant that is currently growing right in our own neighborhood! It may even become someone elses favorite! This year, we learned the difference between an Easter Cactus and a Christmas Cactus, what a Budda Belly plant is, and about red spinich plants, iris', and wild berrys.
