INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS
by Carolyn Todd, Dist. VI Director
Carolyn Todd, District VI Director for the Louisiana Garden Club Federation Inc., installed the incoming Gardenette officers for September 2020 to May 2021 at the club's September 9 meeting held on Zoom. Using favorite garden tools, she used them to describe the tasks of each position.
Installed were president Vicky Fannaly, first vice president Sandra Haro, second vice president Sonya Avery, treasurer Ellen Pusey, recording secretary Jamie LeBlanc, corresponding secretary Cynthia Cummer, chaplain Kathy Bruce, parliamentarian Cricket Ayala.
Fannaly opened the meeting with a roll call where each member was asked to share a pleasant memory or an update on how they were coping with the pandemic. Bruce recited the collect and presented an opening prayer. Pusey sent a treasurer's report.
Committee reports were given by Cummer - Sunshine - who requested that she be notified of anyone who could use a card.
Karen Moran - birds and conservation - the committee will present reports at each meeting, hopefully with visuals.
Haro - school labels - some labels are not being printed on some products, so please send in any that you happen to find like Community Coffee.
Bruce - exhibits - if we continue on Zoom, you can still display horticulture and exhibits online.
Jamie LeBlanc reporting for Marilyn Wright - garden of the month - presentations will resume when conditions are more favorable for socializing. Margaret Bailey will be co-chairman at that time.
Anna Poland - holiday trees - volunteering at the hospital has been temporarily suspended, so it is not sure what will happen when Christmas comes. The Genesis award was last presented to a nursing home and will be retrieved when it becomes safer.
Margaret Hardin - live oaks - a large tree was registered across from the post office and Margaret went to the mayor's office and asked him to consider registering some of the trees in neutral areas that belong to the city.
A discussion was held regarding future meetings pending the Governor's projections. Some options were outdoor gatherings, more zoom meetings and distanced indoor arrangements.
HORTICULTURE HINT:
Order your spring flowering bulbs for fall planting. October is the recommended month to put them in the ground. Remember tulips and narcissus should be put in your refrigerator crisper for 6 weeks before you plant them. Poppy seeds need to be refrigerated also!
