GARDEN CLUB BUSINESS AND REMINDERS

Dues

Forget-Me-Not

Annual dues in the amount of $20 for active members and $25 for associates are due by Nov. 30.  

You can bring your check to the next business meeting or mail it to our treasurer, Arlene DeSocio.  Her address is 24 Frost Lane, Cornwall, NY  12518. 

We are required to send a portion of our dues to the Federated Garden Clubs of New York State, Inc., and to District X.  For 2013, FGCNYS gets $8 for each club member, an increase of $3 per member.  District X receives $5 for each member.  

Holiday Gathering with Friends

Oh the holiday season will be upon us very soon! 

The CGC will gather for its annual holiday celebration on Sunday Dec. 2 at the Mountainville Manor.  

The festivities will begin with a social hour at 5:00 p.m.; and our chairpersons, Chic Kennedy and Brigid Flynn are planning for quite an enjoyable evening.

 

Holidays are a wonderful time to showcase many cherished things.  For those of you who have wanted to put on that one, special fancy dress that has been hanging in the closet for too long, let the mood take you.  Why not don that frock for our CGC holiday get together?  

Make sure you also wear comfortable dancing shoes, because somehow you will find yourself dancing the evening away.

 

PS: There is a little rumor that perhaps you should make certain you are well rested, so that one's vocal chords are at an optimum state too.  

Annual Plant Sale - May 11, 2013

We look forward each year to providing the community a plant sale that will enable gardeners of all levels to acquire quality plants for their home gardens.  Although it is a working day for all club members, it is also a satisfying and fun day for the club.  We come together, sister gardeners for a good cause.

 

Our 2013 chairpersons, Andrea Hamburger and Ilene Osinski, know that this one and only annual CGC fundraiser is important and ask that you mark your calendars now because all hands are needed and required for a successful sale.

Preference Sheets 

All club members should have received their preference sheets for 2013.  

Please complete and return your sheet.  You can bring your sheet to the next business meeting or mail it to Margaret.

The preference sheet is the main tool used in making assignments for committees and for tasks such as hostessing.  In particular, if you do not wish to be assigned to a certain committee, it is important to indicate this on your sheet.  

Those making the assignments will try to honor all requests, but this is not always possible. 

Whatever committee assignments you receive, remember the time honored motto of the Cornwall Garden Club…No whining!  Just find someone to trade assignments.
