It’s hard to believe the year has come to an end. We have much to look forward to in 2018; terrific programs, our Flower Show in May and giving to the greater Cleveland community through Charitable Projects.
Speaking of Charitable Projects, this is a reminder that if you haven’t already, it’s time to send in your annual gift to Kate Stenson. Unfortunately we are significantly behind where we should be to date with gifts received. If you sent your check earlier in the year, it’s quite possible that your gift was actually for the 2016-17 fiscal year. If you’re unsure whether you have fulfilled your charitable contribution obligation for 2017-18, please check with Kate.

As my daughters are now grown, my enthusiasm for holiday decorating has dissipated, to say the least. As the ubiquitous Santas and reindeer are tucked away, my favorite holiday decorations are Simon Pearce hand blown glass evergreens.

I hope you have enjoyed this gift of glorious fall weather. What a luxury to put our gardens to sleep for the winter before the first sleet or snowfall. And how often can we empty, wash, sun-dry and store our containers in late October with temperatures still in the 70s!
