AFGC/SCR Conventions

Post date: Apr 11, 2016 7:35:35 PM

If you were not able to attend the AFGC/SCR conventions this past week, you missed one of the best ever. BVGC had 29 members who attended and you could feel the BVGC presence everywhere. Geri Hoerner and her team, which she will announce later, did a masterful job at the registration desk. Linda Neymeyer, and her team, worked their you-know-what's off on the flower show, horticultural display and table designs for several lunches and dinners.

I personally visited with first of all our National President, then our South Central Regional Director as well as club Presidents from Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico. They all conveyed to me this was, if not the best, then one of the best, conventions they have attended. So to all who attended and helped a BIG THANK YOU. You make all of us proud.

Oh! By the way we all picked up a few awards. How about;
