BCSS MEETING April 12, 2005 Tonight we had seven guests with us! I think that must be a record! We scheduled a garden work day for Saturday, the 23rd at 9 am. Members were reminded that we have a great library and that they can check out books to take home. Maynard the treasurer told us that we have about 60 members now and about $2400 in the bank. The Yard Sale was discussed: it will be held on May 21 and 22 and Sidney and Jack Kelley’s home. The signup sheet will be out tonight and the next meeting. Sidney will do the advertising, but would like someone to make signs for the event. Vonne reminded us of the Show and Sale which will take place in October. Lynn reported on some Field trips that have been taken: camping in Palm Desert and gathering rocks with Dan. Upcoming is the Windwolves Preserve trip and the New York Mountains camping trip. Vonne asked members to let her or the other officers know if there are any special areas of interest for upcoming programs. Brian Adams donated a big box of Organic Gardening magazines. Our speaker was Larry Nichols, who led us through his xeriscaping adventure from start to finish. He completely redid his front yard from a lawn with shade trees and turned it into a desert garden. His presentation was extremely thorough, and members were left with an appreciation for his organization skills! We finished, as usual, with the raffle. |
