A Note from our Co-Presidents:
CHRISTY WILSON and JANET EVANS
Grow Where You Are Planted
This is the season for harvesting the bounty of our gardens and sharing it with those we love, and we are reminded of the words of a very familiar hymn--
Come, ye thankful people, come, raise the song of harvest home;
All is safely gathered in, ere the winter storms begin.
Dewdrops on the chrysanthemums sparkle earlier with the end of Daylight Savings Time, days are getting shorter, autumn rains will nourish our land, and we will gather with family and friends to celebrate Thanksgiving.
There is much we are grateful for as we look back on our first months in office. The people in this Club are so supportive, helpful and caring that our position is a joy. We are grateful for those who have stepped forward to organize all of the committees that carry out our mission and ensure that everyone is informed, invited and welcome to our myriad VGCLJ activities. We are grateful for the smiling faces that we see from the dais--and gathered around all of the tables.
There are only two weeks before our November 13 meeting, when our Horticulture Committee offers all of us a chance to purchase wonderful bulbs--amaryllis, anemone, daffodil and narcissus! We'll have delicious food, as usual, thanks to the organizing talents of Lucy Borsenberger and Libby Levine and the skills and generosity of members, plus a fascinating glimpse into the gardens of Rancho La Puerta with guest speaker Barry Shingle. We hope you can join us!
With hopes that your holiday is warm and happy and full of blessings,
Christy and Janet
PS Just a reminder that our November meeting is one week earlier than usual on November 13 and the "Bulb to Beauty" workshop with follow immediately after the meeting.
