December 1, 2022 Meeting Notes

 

December has started out with many challenges - snowstorm, power outage, communication outage - but we are blessed to live in a community that looks after each other. 

The Garden Club December 1st meeting went ahead as planned, and a hearty dozen or so brave souls attended.

Many, many thanks to Sue Dunn for showing us how to make lovely Christmas decorations from plants and greenery in our yards and gardens, with some store bought embellishments.   Everyone in attendance went home with one of Sue's lovely creations.
