News For All Districts
That was a great program at the garden club meeting!
My guest
enjoyed it so much
that she
said she wanted to join!
National
Garden Clubs, Inc. is looking for imaginative programs that inspire, educate,
and entertain (even all three at once!) and receive responses like the above.
Programs such as these are needed to help our garden clubs stimulate their
current members as well as attract new ones.
With the
encouragement of Barbara May, NGC President, a manual of garden club programs
is being designed to gather together the most innovative programs that our
garden club members have produced.
Has your
garden club had a program that “fits the bill”?
Please share
it with NGC and other garden clubs!
Fill out the
submission form below and send it in by January 1, 2008. All submissions will
be acknowledged with a NGC certificate of appreciation. A panel of NGC members
will select the 24 to 30 most creative and imaginative programs to be compiled
in the manual.
(Qualifying programs should be
deliverable at any meeting; specific speakers and site-specific materials are
not eligible for submission. A lecture may be a “script” that could
be presented by a garden club member. Skits should have a script attached with
submission.)
