Our August meeting included the AGM.
As our current President, Kathy McKellar, was unable to stand this year, we have great pleasure in welcoming Linda White into that role. Sue Dunlop and Anita Edwards remain as Secretary and Treasurer respectively.
We have also elected Eunice and Ron Huckel as our Patrons, in recognition of their many years of service and support as members of the Garden Club.
Open Gardens is back. We know many people were disappointed that it had to be cancelled last year, but this year it’s up and running again.

So mark Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 October on your calendars. At this stage there are six gardens to visit, and Weddin Community Nursery will be open that weekend.
We will be organising morning tea, and there will be a plant stall.
Our other major fundraiser before Christmas will be a Street Stall on Saturday, 13 September.
We are also holding a raffle on the day, and in the run up to the stall, we are organizing a ‘Guess the Jelly Beans’ competition. Tickets will be $2 a guess, and the winner gets to eat the jelly beans AND keep the bowl.
We are organising with some of our wonderful shopkeepers for the bowl to be on display in their stores for a couple days each, so everyone will have a chance to guess and win.
More details for both events will be provided later, so keep an eye on Grenfell Record and Social Media for updates.
Our next meeting on September 2nd at 2 p.m. will be at the Public Library and will include a short talk by our new librarian, Clenda Wockner.
