We’re new but we are GROWING! The members of MVPS meet on the 1st Tuesday of each month (except July and August) at the Mount Vernon Senior Center, 6:30 – 8:30pm. Meetings consist of a garden-related program, a brief business meeting, a program-related “hands-on” activity and refreshments. Annual dues of $20.00 allows members to join with the Chuckanut District and take monthly fieldtrips to gardens in the Pacific Northwest as well as participate in workshops on many gardening topics free of charge. These workshops are held throughout the year at various locations in our 3-County district and include speakers, demonstrations, etc.
Please Come Join the Fun!
Visitors are always welcome to all meetings and events.

The Following two items were proposed and voted on at the April, 2008 Meeting:
Changing our Meeting Times
We will be changing our meeting times starting in September, 2008. We will start an hour earlier, at 5:30 p.m., and end at 7:30 p.m. or 8:00 p.m., depending on the program. The meeting location and date will remain the same: Mount Vernon Senior Center on the First Tuesday of the Month, except we don’t meet at all in July and August; and in June we have our Potluck Planning Meeting at different times and locations.
Secretary/Treasurer to be 2 separate offices:
We have decided to “split” the Secretary and Treasurer positions and their duties and get that change in the Bylaws as well, and then elect a new Secretary and a new Treasurer for the one year only(Sept. 08-June09). After that, all of the offices will be elected every two years, on the odd numbered years.
We will be voting on amending the By-Laws to reflect these changes at the May 6 meeting. If you have any concerns, questions or objections, be at the meeting to voice those. See the Members Page to see the wording of the proposed revisions to the By-Laws. Call Sharon if you need a reminder of the user name or password for the MVPS website.
Annual Potluck and Planning Meeting
Saturday, June 9, 2008 is our Annual Potluck and Planning Meeting. Location is Sharon Merrill’s home and the time is 3:00 p.m. Sign-Up sheets for what to bring will be at the May 6 meeting, or call Sharon.
