Dues and Memberships: Dues for the 1999-2000 year are due. The Membership fee for active members is $15.00. For those members who wish to continue on as members, enjoying the benefits of the club without being called upon to work on any committees, an associate membership is available for the annual fee of $35.00. As the club has a great many activities planned for the coming year, we will be calling on all of our active members to work on several projects. If you find you are not going to be available to contribute actively, you may want to consider an associate membership for the year. Contact Marybeth Meyer, Membership Chairperson for payments.

Plant Sale Update: Many thanks to all that helped make our plant sale a huge success this year. Special recognition goes to Jean Doran for her many yellow Iris plants and to Dot and Herb Everett for the many Kousa seedlings and Daylilies they donated.
