Presidents' Message
Friendships and Flowers, Growing Together

We picked this theme for many reasons. The Friendship part is to recognize all our fabulous new members whom we want to get to know better. We will continue the semi-annual new member orientations and hope that we can reach out to all new members, whether you joined this past month or 6 months ago. In addition, we plan to start a mentoring program for each new member – pairing each new person with someone who can guide them through the first year. We will also encourage all new members to join a committee or even just attend without joining. It is so much easier to meet people in small groups like Floral Design or Library Garden, to mention just a couple.
The Flower part of our theme is rather obvious. We come together with a common interest in flowers and become lifelong learners as we learn about newer, better ways to garden, to mulch, to snip and pinch perennials, to sow winter seeds, to start bulbs indoors, to use herbs for more than cooking, and the list goes on and on. All these things we have learned from fellow club members through small committees and from guest speakers.
We look forward to serving as your co-presidents the next two years and hope you will grow with us in “Friendship and Flowers, Growing Together”.
