• In December we will be expanding on our traditional Holiday Luncheon and transform our regular meeting room into a festive extravaganza!  We will continue the popular table hostess program, including the auctioning of the centerpieces.  In addition to the beautiful table arrangements, members will enjoy garden-inspired holiday shopping at a mini-boutique put together by our Ways and Means committee. Writer Nan Sterman will give us an informative and entertaining presentation on the secrets and techniques for successful seed germination, and how to start annual vegetables, herbs, flowers and fruits from seed.
