The latest ... October 20th meeting in the museum's big white tent. Masks and social distancing are a must. See attachment for details of meeting. I'm not sure what will be happening for the the rest of our year. We've been playing it day by day.

Many thanks to the The Garden Club of Reading, PA for decorating the library this holiday season! It is beautiful!!

Our October meeting ... one of our own great designers, Yvonne, presented designs using different mechanics and different proportions of components, etc. Lovely fall arrangements.

I was invited to do my "Fill Your Boots" program at the Parkland Garden Club 11.11.2019 .... I filled boots and then some! Great time with Parkland club members. Lots of creative thinking and a whole lot of fun!
