Many years ago, as I was growing up 32 miles northeast of McMinnville, the rains lasted until the Fourth of July. Not anymore. Now, we began to use our own water to irrigate our gardens much sooner in the year. It costs more but there is a lot less mud. Which is more important? Frugality or spotless floors?
- July is the time when an entire new executive committee will undertake the leadership of our club. They are terrific people and will do a fantastic job. 61 more days for me but who’s counting?
- We do have a few tasks remaining. Although we cleaned out the tree wells on Third, there is still light maintenance to do at the Post Office and the Serenity Garden.
- June 8 is our Tour and Faire. Don’t forget to check in at the Faire. Even an hour handing out water and giving vendors bathroom breaks is appreciated.
- Many members like to share their gardens with the Club. We call this program Open Gates. If you would like to show off all your hard work, pick a day and times that are convenient for you, let a board member know, and we will notify the club.
Finally, I will be checking with all the committee chairs to see if they plan to continue in their current positions. It is all those committees that make the Club run so smoothly and make the board members look good. Thank you for all your efforts. If you are not currently serving on a committee, consider doing so next year.
