September 2007 "GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY" Great Meadows Garden Club celebrates
50 years of Sharing, Caring and Gardening. The 50th Anniversary luncheon is dedicated to:
The women who tirelessly recruited members for the garden club;
The women who soiled their hands while planting, watering and
weeding to help brighten up the community;
The women who so graciously welcomed new members and
helped them learn about gardening and floral design;
The women who worked through their anxieties preparing for a flower show; and
The women who have made and maintained friendships with other members,
sometimes for over half a lifetime.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
to you all
The 50th Anniversary Luncheon was held
in The Barn at Fallingwater

Pictures, scrapbooks and yearbooks gave one a chance to peruse the memories of the past 50 years.
| 
Elaine Ringer did so well selling 50/50 tickets that the winner received over $100.00.
| 
The local merchants responded generously to Sandy Kulp's pleas for contributions. That made a myriad of choices for the Chinese Auction..........dinners, golf,
tickets to a murder mystery or the zoo, flowers and even a snowman with a Christmas tree!
Incidentally, a couple lottery tickets on the mum were winners, $7.00!

Kathy Gerke is a charming "associate"
for the Chinese Auction tickets!

Mary Ann Schmunk and Marlene Leslie interrupted their visit to smile at the camera.

The continuous slide show of past and present
photos brought back a lot of fond memories.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Angels in My Garden
Irene Stanley Among my gift begonias
Is one called "Angel-wing",
So true to form I fancy
I hear the seraphs sing.
For surely higher beings
Inspired the friendly hearts
Of my new next-door neighbors
To give me these "new starts".
O Angels, hover always
About this garden spot!
Help - me to share life's blossoms
With those who have them not!
And from your shining wing -tips
Shake fragrance for the hearts
Of beauty-hungry thousands
Today, who need new starts!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HAPPY 50th ANNIVERSARY!
