Dave Veinot will be joining us as the guest speaker at our next meeting on Wednesday, November 24th. Dave specializes in ornamental trees and shrubs - Japanese Maples, Magnolias, Dogwoods. etc. For those of us needing 'bones' in the gardens or a woody plant in a particular place this would be a great evening.
Dan also worked with Captain Steele, a reknown Rhododendron and Azalea hybridizer who once said, "You could turn the province over a fifty year period into a magnificent thing." when talking about gardening.
Our local food bank is in need of a whole variety of supplies. Some of the things that are most needed are canned stews, noodles & sauce dinners, macaroni/spaghetti, cereals, peanut butter, tuna, canned meat, canned fruit and vegetables, packaged potatoes, tetrapak milk, and items for children's school lunches such as canned fruit, puddings, cracker & cheese packages, etc.
It's easy to forget the food bank donation as you're rushing out the door to your favourite meeting, but every can and package helps someone.
