Our first meeting is Monday, Sept 22 at 12:00 PM at Club 51. We’ll meet in the back room by the bar.
Please RSVP to 10whisant@gmail.com
A note on food: the kitchen is closed and the club does not allow homemade items. I’ll bring sandwiches, cheese, fruit, dessert, and soft drinks from Publix.
I’ve prepared a short survey to gauge interests and propagation experience. We’ll use your responses to get to know each other and plan activities for the year. I also have a list of local growers and gardens to explore, all within about 45 minutes.
Since this is a new role for me, I welcome guidance from anyone with propagation experience. I’m also looking for a volunteer to take minutes and share them afterward.
Questions? Email me anytime.
See you Monday,
Sharon Smith
