Happy New Year! I hope your holiday season was aglow with friends and family. I find after all the cheer of the holidays, I welcome winter’s quiet moments in January. It is a perfect time to reflect on all that is good in life. I am particularly thankful for my membership in our garden club. It is wonderful to be a part of an organization which thrives on activity. Our stimulating programs, educational experiences, camaraderie, and yes (!) flower shows are all opportunities for learning and spending time with friends.
The purpose of the Club is to educate and to stimulate the interest of its members and the public in matters related to environmental protection, conservation, horticulture, gardening, and related subjects. Active Members are expected to serve on Committees, to participate in all Club activities and help hostess a general meeting every two years.
Our whole committee has been thrilled with your generosity, your efficiency, and your commitment to Charitable Projects. It is really a privilege to read your tributes and your “in memory of” notes.

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.
Thanks to Carole Obernesser, Jennifer Hartford, Jennifer Langston, Margaret Krudy, and Mary Anne Liljedahl for inspiring us with your lovely holiday tablescape designs. (And thank you, Mary Bruce, for the photos.)
I have just a few quick book ideas this year, but I hope you will enjoy one or two of these. And please consider two books I listed in this year’s recommended garden and nature books for children as gifts for adults also.
This year we begin with something very special. When you were a child, did you have beautifully illustrated anthologies of poetry from which you learned rhyme, meter, metaphor, and dreams?
Thank you to early donors to the 2019-20 Charitable Projects Fund. We genuinely appreciate your prompt and generous support. While we accept gifts until the end of the fiscal year,
