The Earth, Wind and Flowers Garden Club greeted two new members Doug and Kim Beckley when the club met at the Bucyrus Public Library.
The group dined from a buffet table of harvest dishes prepared with garden products. 2016-2017 officers were installed by Mary Lee Minor who suggested they each consider being wedded to the club. Nosegays of fresh plant materials focused on red for Susan Maynard, president, pink for Cheryl Corney, vice-president, blue for Deb Pigman, and gold for treasurer, Joy Lauthers.
Club members heard a summary by June Gebhardt, of the recent flower show “All Aboard”, held at the train station. A decision was made to purchase a brick as a donation to the Bucyrus Preservation Society. Funding was approved to the Ohio Association of Garden Clubs, and to the Crawford Park District. Shirley Chapman praised teamwork on the club’s plantings and maintenance on the city square.
Two new projects for the city were discussed. Cheryl Corney circulated the program schedule for the year.
To close the evening, everyone shared the plants, bulbs and seeds they had brought for an exchange session.
On November 7, the members will be decorating the Bucyrus Historical Society for a ‘White Christmas’.
