HAPPY NEW YEAR
I hope you were among the lucky participants in our February
workshop who made gourd birdhouses. A very productive class
led by Jan Kespohl and Marilyn Crayton produced twenty
seven interesting gourd birdhouses.
This year’s Daffodil Tea was a lovely affair. We
had nice spring like weather and a turnout of 72 members
and guests. Although the daffodils bloomed early this year
there were still enough to make beautiful arrangements
for the tables and two outstanding baskets. Chairman Gina
Belle Smith did a superb job and so did Jo Jameson as Mistress
of Ceremony. Thanks to all who worked behind the scene
to make this event a big success.
April 19th, 2005 is our next meeting. Our program will
be done by the Lake Ka-Ba-Tin Redbud Arrangers. The hostesses
are Ann Blue, Sue Flodberg and Rose Davidson.
The following Saturday, April 23rd, is the Wildflower
Breakfast and Heron Day Festival at the Clear Lake State
Park. Since the park is our adopted park, we have been
invited to have a booth on native plants, as we did last
year. Our booth will be open from 8 A.M. to 4 P.M. This
year we will have a canopy over us so we will not have
to be out in the hot sun. If you can come and help man
the booth for a couple hours or donate any potted native
plants please call Barbara Swanson. It will be greatly
appreciated.
May 17, 2005 meeting will have a question and answer session
on plants that will grow in this area. All members who
are new to the area, as well as the rest, who are interested
in learning more about plants, please write down your questions
and bring them to the meeting. This will be a knowledge
sharing program so be sure to bring a notebook to write
down the answers to your questions.
Our annual picnic is on June 21, at the Clear Lake State
Park. It is a pot luck picnic which begins at 5P.M. Husbands
are welcome. Hopefully, it will also be the installation
of officers for the coming term.
