ALL GATHERINGS ARE PUT ON PAUSE DUE TO CONCERNS ABOUT THE COVID-19 VIRUS

WHEN IT SEEMS SAFE TO RESUME SOCIAL GATHERINGS, WE WILL RESUME.

SOME PLANNED ACTIVITIES MAY BE POSTPONED TO LATER DATES.

AS DECISIONS ARE MADE, THIS PAGE WILL BE UPDATED.

Please follow guidelines from CDC and WHO and stay safe and healthy.

Our year ends in June and resumes in September.  We hope we can meet in person in September.

Our Board continues to work behind the scenes.  The Executive Board has met a few times via Zoom.

Members were asked to approve the slate of officers prepared by the nominating committee.
Voting was done via mail, and the list of new officers will be added on the "Officers" page.

"I would like to suggest than in addition to actually physically planting, pruning, mulching, and harvesting
in your garden, that this might be a good time to learn more gardening tips, tricks, and techniques.
I start most days with some stretches and exercises and while doing that, I watch You Tube videos.
I am learning a lot.  There are videos on any topic you can think of, so why not take advantage."
