President's Letter December 2019

Dear Friends,

The holidays are here! We enjoyed the inspiration our members, Jennifer Hartford, Margaret Krudy, Jennifer Langston, Mary Anne Liljedahl and Carole Obernesser shared with us in November. I hope you will take a photo of your own holiday tablescape and submit it to Dozie to post on our website. It is fun to share inspiration.

I recently attended the ribbon cutting ceremony for the refurbished walkway at the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes. As a member of Shaker Lakes Garden Club, I hope you feel inspired by our historic connection to the Nature Center. It is a nexus for our involvement with charitable outreach, conservation and community involvement. As we stood in the raw conditions of the day, the crowd was inspired by the Nature Center’s past as well as its promise for the future. After you enjoy your holiday feast, I hope you will take the time for a stroll on the new walkway and savor our history with the Center, our history of community involvement, and our history of charitable giving.

 Happy Holidays and a very Happy New Year!

Mary Bruce
