New Location for Meetings:
Beginning with the March 14th meeting, we will be meeting in the Botanical Gardens new building at the back of the parking lot (to the right of the gardens when facing the complex from South Park). If you enter through the garage there are no stairs. Teresa assured us that we would still be able to get a sneak peak of the Spring Flower Show in April.
I love spring anywhere, but if I could choose I would always greet it in a garden. - Ruth Stout
