Program Co-chair Theresa Travelute outlined plans for the next meeting. Henry Owens who is responsible for the garden at Friendship Trays will do a presentation on worm composting and we will have a silent auction. Members need to let Theresa know by November 1st what they plan to bring for the auction so Theresa can prepare bid sheets. Items should be herb or garden-related and may include services (meal preparation, baking, help in the garden, etc.). Let Theresa know what the starting bid should be as well. She will have some blank bid sheets available at the meeting.Dana DeBellis, Vice President and Garden Council representative, reported that the Sardis Garden Club is selling wreaths and roping as a Christmas fundraiser.
