January 2012

Hello Gardeners!

Happy New Year! I hope everyone is keeping warm during this cold wintery weather!

It is a wonderful excuse to sit inside and think about things to do in the garden this coming year. I wanted to give people a brief update for this year's officers and some changes for 2012.

As we start planning for 2012, please let me about days that do NOT work for meetings and lectures.
For example, the Charrette meets every first thursday of the month, the American Legion meets every second thursday, the Town Board meets every 2nd and 4th Tuesday, etc. I don't know when the WPHS meetings are or the Chamber of Commerce meetings. Let me know by Monday, January 9th of any days that would conflict with our meetings.

Officers for 2012
John Ferrante and Scott Utley - co-Presidents
Linda Ferrante - Secretary
Scott Utley (backup: Subrata Paul) - treasurer
PR: Perry Howland
Photographer/newspaper: Kris Jorolemon (to send photo/writeup to newspaper after events)
Coordinatory of events - Subrata Paul
 If you are willing to take on a role, let John Ferrante know.

We would like to do recruiting this year as well as plan for our 2012 project, etc. There are a lot of great one-time roles you can take on if you would like.

For 2012, we will be doing things a little differently. We are not having lectures for January-March, just our regular members meetings to plan for the year. We are thinking of alternating lectures that are open to the public with hands-on, learning projects for members only. For example, we are hoping to have a terrarium building class, a stone wall building class, etc. We will keep you posted as the year continues.

Happy Gardening! Subrata
