AGENDA
7 PM WELCOME TO ALL BY PRESIDENT JUDY MULDOON
SPEAKER : Debbie Geib showed us various bushes and how to prune and when to prune. Lots of good information and questions answered. She also posted information on our facebook page in regards to wisteria.
Judy talked about canning and the various methods and tips. Penny Tracy had provided recipes and tips and these were passed out to members.
Treasurers Report by Penny Tracy was unavailable but we will have it in September
Membership Report by Anne Tetreault- We remain at 88 members for 2022.
Update on club activities by Judy
Ideas for upcoming speakers for 2023. Great suggestions came from the members on what they would like to hear and see for speakers so Judy will be working on that as well.
Elections in November – please consider putting your name forward for our executive. One member has come forward to stand on the executive. We have about 3 meetings a year and it is not a big time commitment so we are needing 2 more members to stand as directors so please consider it.
Debbie brought in Free Foxglove plants for anyone who wanted them.
In regards to the heavy tomato contest that Carson Arthur has the weight to beat is 2.6 lbs. Kathy Bozin showed us a picture of her 2.2 lb tomato but not quite big enough.
We did pay the first, second and third winners for the vegetable competition and $101 was paid out to our winners. Congratulations to all.
