October 2024 newsletter
The October 2024 issue of Seeders and Weeders covers both the September and October meetings.
October meeting
The October meeting was small, but members shared their summer garden successes and asked each other for help. The club thanked:
- Glenn and the volunteers who kept the planters on Pleasant Valley Road looking great all summer, despite the heat
- Linda Meraw and family for hosting the summer potluck in her lovely garden
- Heather Freeman, Paul Peacock, and Brenda Hobbs for staffing the club’s booth at the curling club volunteer fair
Giving back
The club voted to donate $500 each to Starfish, the Food Bank, and the bursary. A donation of plants for Pleasant Valley Manor will be considered in spring.
Elections in November
Elections are at the November meeting. The club needs a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, speaker coordinator, and newsletter editor. Chris Williams will stay on as membership secretary. Without volunteers, the club cannot run.
Getting ready for spring
Sue Wiebe is collecting one-gallon pots for the next plant sale. Glenn and Linda offered to help dig, divide, and pot up hostas.
Coming up
- Next meeting: November 5, 2024, at 7 pm
- Winter social: December, starting at 6 pm. Bring your own plate, cutlery, and mug, plus appies or dessert to share.
