| In case you did not hear about the success we had at the Lake
County Fair, August 28 - 31, 2003, our garden "Jardin del Patio" won a first
prize and best of show. There is a picture of it on our web site.
Congratulations to all who worked on this very worthwhile project!
At our first meeting in September Lori Wilcox gave us a
demonstration on how to make a lavender wand. She also told us the best kinds
of lavender to grow to make the wands and some tips on how to grow lavender.
She will probably be giving a workshop on how to make the various lavender
filled pillows and wands at her home next year when the lavender is in bloom.
On September 26th five members, Mary Secord,
Nora Gerrard, Lynn Hughs, Jo Jameson and Barbara Fain met at the Hartley Cemetary
Chapel . They did a lot of pruning of shrubbery and general clean up which
was very much needed. Les, the Maintenance Superintendent, had already cleared
out some dead shrubbery and trees for us. Thanks ladies for all the hard work.
Adult Respite met at the St. Johns Church in Lucerne on
