The October Meeting of the Gulf Hills Garden Club and a Special Birthday!



The October Gulf Hills Garden Club meeting at the home of club member, Beth M.  She and her hosts provided a delicious brunch buffet with Mimosas.  A heartfelt thank you to her and her hosts Mollie, Jeanette and Danny.  And thank you Mary Ann for a very meaningful devotion.

The home was beautifully decorated with fresh flowers on each of the many tables.  Danny furnished a dozen multi-hued gourmet eggs from his chickens as a door prize.

We had four guests:  Former members, Carol G. and Marge D., so very nice to see these ladies again; and Martha C. and Pat DeHaan. 
The program for the meeting was a presentation of the goals from the Garden Clubs of Mississippi and the National Garden Club organization.   

Pleasures and Challenges from our Garden this month was a discussion of “What does a garden mean to you?”  Members paired to reflect and share gardening experiences.  Michael brought a leaf from a plant he could not identify and none of us could either
.
The members of the Gulf Hills Garden Club surprised our president with a Birthday Cake.  

Next meeting is November 19.
