HAPPY NEW YEAR
In May, our club sent Gina-Belle Smith to Sacramento for
the California Garden Clubs, Inc. State Convention. Gina-Belle
proudly represented Clear Lake Trowel & Trellis Garden
Club as the incoming President. Also attending from our
district was our memorable outgoing District Director,
Sharon Thorne, incoming Co-District Directors Evelyn Broaddus
and Nona Carpenter both of Ukiah Garden Club. In addition,
an opportunity to shine was the Club President, Margaret
Retherford of North Lake Garden Club, new in Lake County.
The California Garden Clubs State Convention had lots to
offer in all aspects of gardening, education, seminars,
packets of information, network of contacts for support
and advice, entertainment, good food and fine company.

In June we had our club picnic, held at the Clear Lake
State Park, it was a blessed beautiful day and lots of
good company and fantastic food to share. This was a wonderful
time to get acquainted with spouses. Sharon Thorne creatively
presented an installation of incoming club officers using
trees as an analogy. A big tasty cake was enjoyed as celebration
of the clubs 50th Anniversary.
July is the time we are gearing up for the Lake County
Fair. Fair chairman, Barbara Swanson and the fair committee
are creatively drawing up plans and fun filled garden surprises
for the exhibit in the Floriculture Bldg. Last year the
club won first place on the exhibit. Club encourages members
to learn, grow and have fun by entering the varying divisions
in Floriculture. The club will have an outstanding booth
on "How you can be a member too". Membership
Chairman, Mary Ann Worth will have an interesting eye-catching
booth filled with club information. Be sure to stop by
and show your support.
In July the executive board and chairmen will hold their
first meeting to discuss the upcoming events and goals
of the club for the year. Clear Lake Trowel & Trellis
Garden Club has lots to offer this year to discover what
grows best in your kind of soil and how to fertilize and
keep moisture in. Enjoy the thrill of showing your prize
plants and floral arrangements at flower shows and exhibits.
Profit from the experience of experts, getting new ideas
for outdoor planting to compliment your home and neighborhood.
We look forward to seeing you soon. MEMBERSHIP IS THE KEY
to a lifetime of gardening pleasure.
