Greens Sale: The EGC will have a sale of fresh greens for holiday decorations at Easton's Festival of Lights on Saturday, December 2. Our table will be located on the front porch of Oakes Ames Memorial Hall. Two workshops are scheduled to make assorted decorations such as wreaths and swags. We will meet Sunday, November 26 at 9:00 am at Nancy Cohenno's, and Tuesday, November 28, at 4:00 pm at Kim Bertram's. Please join us for these fun workshops, and bring with you cut greens, berries and any Christmas containers you would like to donate to the sale.

Window Boxes: It's window box time again! We will be meeting on Thursday morning, November 30 at 10:00am, in the Immaculate Conception Church parking lot to replace the mums with fresh greens, berries and bows. The more the merrier - please come and help and get into the holiday spirit!

Presidents' Night: As November's meeting is Presidents' night, we will be giving all the area garden club presidents and their guests attending a gift of fresh greens in a decorative vase. We will be gathering at Nancy Cohenno's to arrange the greens on Sunday morning, November 5 at 9:00am. Please join us if you can help.

New Member: The EGC is happy to welcome new member Deborah Bryant of North Easton.
