January: The year
started with brainstorming for the organization. We needed to recruit committee chairpersons
and discuss fundraising ideas, as well as lay out our goals for the New
Year. We wanted to focus on raising
money to support our Master Gardener Projects.
We also wanted to make our organization more visible to the community through
continued calendar sales and participation in Earth Day, the Home Show,
Community Market, County Fair, etc.
February: Tammy Valdovino agreed to be the organization
historian and Sherline Alexander became the chair of Community Markets.
March: We
participated in the Home Show with a beautiful booth organized by Chairperson
Kathy Singh. We had several speakers and
a great response by attendees. At the
executive meeting we picked our new logo and agreed to participate in the
Arboretum’s plant sale in July. In addition
we decided to go forth with the “Regarden” fundraiser to be held in June and approved
Sherry Markel’s T-shirt fundraiser. At
our general meeting we announced that we would award $1250 in grants for Master
Gardener Projects.
