Our May Luncheon Closes out the Season

We celebrated the close of our season with our annual pot luck buffet at Sarah Bailey's NeedMore Ranch.  The weather was idyllic and the food excellent! 

Many thanks to our members who renewed and newbies who joined the club.  Your prompt dues payment makes the membership process SO MUCH EASIER now that the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs (FFGC) has put the member roster online!  We had a drawing for an appreciation gift to those who got their dues in that day.  Carolyn won the gift of a bluebird themed shopping bag, tea towels, journal, and accessory boxes.  Very appropriately won because she was the first member to submit her dues.  Enjoy, Carolyn!

May is our last meeting until September, when our 2015-16 season begins.  In the meantime, our Monarch Committee is sponsoring our first Bartram Trail Circle NABA Butterfly Count on 6/2 at Alpine Groves Park.  Over the summer you can find us tending to the Freedom Butterfly Garden and enjoying the wildlife it supports.  Consider stopping by to see the butterflies and other pollinators enjoying a sanctuary garden just for them!  If you take a photo, or have a question, please send it along to switzerlandgc@gmail.com  With your permission, we'll feature your picture (with you as the photographer) on this website.   You can also subscribe to our site.  Then you'll get the latest updates on what our local gardeners and our wildlife in the area are up to!
 
The first meeting is at the Bartram Trail Library from 10-noon on September 10 (2nd Thursday of the calendar around July to see what we have lined up.  And, of course you can email switzerlandgc@gmail.com for more details.
month).  We traditionally do not have a guest speaker for the first meeting, but you never know.  Our Executive Committee is gathering in early June to decide the schedule of events, speakers, and activities, so stay tuned!

Happy Summer!
