When love and skill work together

Expect a masterpiece.

John Ruskin

 

 

 

Monthly meetings are held the 2nd Thursday of the month, at the Kroger meeting room, unless otherwise noted in the Gazette. If you are a new member, or were not at the last meeting, it is always a good idea to call one of the officers shown below to verify the meeting location as we sometimes meet in members homes or take a field trip.

Our meeting format is as follows:

7:00 – 7:15 p.m. – Social time

7:15 – 8:00 p.m. - Speaker Presentation

8:15 – 9:00 p.m. – Business Meeting

Annual Membership dues are $25 per person. All members are expected to participate in the two workdays (9:00 am – 12:00 pm) per year for Friendship Garden maintenance, a minimum of one hour per workday. If a member is not able to make the scheduled workday, they may choose an alternate date. At the end of the year, members who attend one or both workdays are eligible for a partial rebate of their dues.
