Sault Area Garden Club
October 19, 2009 Meeting

The October meeting of the Sault Area Garden Club was held Monday, October 19, 2009 at the St. James Church. The Co-President, Phyllis Bigelow welcomed 28 members and guests at 7:00 p.m.

Ron Paquin was the speaker and brought many examples of his beautiful hand-made baskets. He arrived wearing a hat that declared “NO, it does not kill the trees”, in answer to the most asked question he receives. Ron kept us laughing with stories of his woodland adventures gathering materials for his crafts, and ended on a more serious note about the birch tree disease that is claiming trees all over the state. Everyone put their name in a special draw for an original Ron Paquin wall basket, which was won by Cris Roll.

While we enjoyed refreshments provided by Nancy Fenlon, Connie Mattson, Linda Metrish, Toni Schopp, Corri Darou, Kathy Packman and Joan Clark, Linda Sumner drew raffle tickets for prizes supplied by the Sugar Island Ladies.

Bev Youngs read the September minutes. A correction was noted that the September raffle prizes were also provided by Jeanne Smith, Nancy Fenlon and Jeanne O’Callaghan and Kathy Packman had also provided refreshments for that meeting. Motion was made by Fran Pruess to accept corrected minutes and seconded by Dorothy Dansdill. Motion passed.

Joan Clark gave the Treasurer’s report which indicated a balance of $1,704.39. Kate Marshall made a motion to accept the Treasurer’s report, seconded by Connie Mattson. Motion passed.

Phyllis asked if anyone remembered the amount that had previously been approved for donation to St. James Church. After a bit of discussion it could not be determined and she will look through previous minutes to find that answer.

Selden requested an updated membership list and Nancy Fenlon will complete that for the November meeting.

Thanks were given to Connie Mattson for making beautiful new name tags and name tag holders for members.

Next month’s meeting will be November 16th at 7 p.m. and the speaker will be Jude McConkey. Members are requested to bring some of their garden photos for a contest.

Meeting was adjourned at 8:45 p.m.

Bev Youngs, Recording Secretary
