President's Message

September 9, 2021 

Dear Friends, 

We are joyfully but cautiously beginning a new season for our Garden Club. The creative and tenacious women on your board have engineered an enthralling ensemble of educational and entertaining events. So let the season begin! 

While plans seem less iffy than last year, I beg that everyone stays flexible, patient, and involved. We could face sudden changes or restrictions with which we will deal as they arise. Please, check your e-mail regularly. If for any reason, we cannot meet in person, we will go back to our good friend Zoom to continue to provide quality programs throughout the year. 

Thirty-seven of our 67 members – yes, we are up to 67!!! – responded to our garden club survey. One thing we could all agree on was...food! It was the only topic on which there were unanimous votes. Our responding members were 100% in favor of homemade treats at the meetings, and we are delighted to return them to the agenda. Attached, please find a welcome from our Hospitality Chairwomen, Joyce Axe and Kathy Rein, and a schedule of group assignments for those goodies. Be sure to read this attachment. It is important. 

At the meeting, you can pick up your invitation to our December 2 Holiday Luncheon; Hats off to the Holidays! Chair Shirley Putman and her team have such an exciting party planned, and for the first time, our silent auction includes a week at Melodie Moroney’s lovely beach home in Maine. Watch for details. 

We do not accept single reservations until October, but those who have put together groups of ten may turn their payment in to Sally Hard to reserve a table. Be sure to have the names of the attendees. Make checks payable to Garden Club of Inverness. The cost is $75 per person 

There is a lot of reading here, but please take the time to read it all. It took hours and hours of planning to get to this point. Now, fingers crossed, we will be able to execute! 

I can’t wait to see you all next week. Warmest regards, 

Nancy Kaye President
