Founder's Day Fun

Our last meeting was our Founder's Day Banquet.   Our Derby Garden Club is 54 years old!   We celebrated by having a delicious meal together at China Bell in Grove City.   Pat and Barb set a beautiful spring table for us and we each received a pretty pansy in a spring-colored tumbler decorated with Easter grass.

Glenn Watson of Grove City was our guest speaker and presented a very informative and interesting program all about purple martins.   He had a nice handout for us and we learned all about their habits and habitats.   

He also gave away some gourds to a few of us lucky winners.

We have lots of important dates coming up.   We are having a fundraiser on May 13; we will be selling perennial starts and divisions at Pat S.'s house during the big spring garage sale days in Clarks Lake.    Also that same weekend, we are having our annual coupon fundraiser at Ehmann's greenhouse on Lambert Rd., May 14 and 15.   All you do is present our coupon when you check out and a portion of your sales go directly to the garden club; it's that easy!    If you need a coupon, please email me: rparzych@columbus.rr.com.

We had a lot of fun at our Founders Day Banquet and we have two new members!   Thanks to Pat Jeffries and Freda McPherson for joining us!   (Freda for the 2nd time! yeah!)    Please see the sidebar for our next meeting info. and other important dates.
See you next time!
