It’s amazing how quickly 2008 has passed, even though we had a poor growing season because of all the wet weather. The club has accomplished a lot this year by completing the Rock Garden at the Library, running a successful garden tour despite the weather, and having three good plant sales.

Our membership has declined to 114 this year, which is a little concerning and something we will try to work on this year. However the club will need each of us to work in this area. If you have a friend, neighbour or relative who is not a member, bring them out to a meeting this year. We have a number of excellent speakers lined up. Check out their bio’s in the yearbook.

Again I would like to thank all the volunteers who work on our many projects around town.

I would also like to take this opportunity to encourage as many of you as possible to attend the District 17 Annual Meeting which is being held in Port Perry this April. We will be the host club for this event in 2010. The club will need to have your support to make it successful.

Regards,

Rick Causton
