Garden Club - Next Season

Next Season There are many ways you can help! We have not had any responses to our previous requests for volunteers.  Without your help, the garden club cannot function next year. There are many ways you can make a difference: Post club advertising on local mailboxes (1 person per community) Source one guest speaker, arrange a month, get a bio and a door prize (1 person per month) Collect and deliver food bank donations (1 or 2 people) Store, re-stock and set up social coffee, tea, juice, and supplies (1 person) Re-post incoming NSAGC correspondence on Facebook and blogger (1 person) Add community events to the club calendar (1 - 2 people) Lead the plant sale arrangements (1 - 2 people) Organize summer garden tours (1 person) We are happy to provide more information.  If you would like to know more about any of these tasks, please feel free to email us or ask at the May meeting.   This club can only function with the help of volunteers. If you can commit to any task, it will help. Many hands make light work. If you love this club and you want it to continue, please volunteer. Your opportunity to help is just a click away!

Treasurer and Volunteers Needed

Your chance to volunteer or Be Treasurer! The Prospect Area Gardening club is something we all look forward to every month and it wouldn't be successful without its volunteers! This year, we extend our sincere thanks to John Speagle for his years of dedication as he steps down from the treasurer position. The club now needs a new treasurer for our next season.  This position involves collecting membership dues at our first few meetings, writing guest speaker cheques, paying our room fees in Sept. and Jan., reimbursing expenses and liaising with the club president. If you are interested in this position or as a general volunteer, please email us at thepagc@gmail.com. Email Now! Please let us know if we need to update your contact information. thepagc@gmail.com

Perennial Order Arrival & May Social+Plant Swap

Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy Niki Jabbour at the library this week.  She had so many great ideas for crops in pots!  I think my personal favorite was the salad table!  I need to make me one-a-those!!  :)

We have received word that the perennial order will be arriving on Wed. May 15.  We can always use recycled grocery bags if you have any hanging around!  We will also be looking for volunteers who would be available to be at John and Freeman's house (12 Hunters Hill Lane, Terance Bay) starting at noon to help with sorting and bagging up the orders.  Just email or phone John and Freeman to let them know you're available: keyplayer@ns.sympatico.ca ... 852-3147

If you have a placed an order, they will be available for pickup between 5pm and 8pm on Wednesday and Thursday.  No need to call to make an appointment, just drop by during those times :)

Finally, a reminder that our May 22nd meeting is our last one of the season.  We'll be having our annual pot luck social and plant swap - and some other fun activities!  So, whip up your favorite finger food, sandwich, casserole, dessert or beverage and bring it along for our world-class buffet!!  And, if you have divisions or plant babies that volunteered where you don't want them, dig 'em up and bring them along too - they'll be sure to find a loving new home!!

As always, non-perishable donations for our local food bank are most appreciated.
