Update on Plant Sale/September Meeting

Hello Fellow Gardeners!

1. The September sale was a huge success! We raised over $80 for the Garden Club and are looking forward to using that money towards beautifying Williamson.

A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to Perry Howland and his wife, Dorothy. They provided a spot for us to set up and generously paid the garage sale fee for us to set up.

Plants, shrubs, fruits and vegetables were donated by John Ferrante, Carol Hopkins, Ed and Kris Jorolemon, Scott Utley, Penny Higgins and Eric Herriman. Without those items and their hard work, the sale would have not succeeded as well as it did. We had two big tables overflowing with items to tempt people into buying items and learning about the Garden Club.

2. We will be having our September meeting on Monday, September 24 at 7pm at Penny Higgins' house. Come early as we will have a plant give-away of the remaining plants from the sale (and possibly some new ones depending on how energetic I am over the weekend). After the plant giveaway, we will meet to vote on new officers for the coming year and discuss Garden Club activities for the coming year, including the Fall Plantings.

If you are not yet a member, I encourage you to come and check us out. Dues are only $10 and children join free is a parent is a member.

If you are a new member, we would love to have new ideas and new energy involved in moving the Garden Club forward in 2008.

Happy Gardening!
