apprising members that the balance after paying the final bills for the
Farmers’ Market was $7680.79.
Lana Andrews, on behalf of Ann Baldwin and
Mary Ann Nagel, said a work day is planned for Tuesday, August 15 at about 9:30
a.m. at the Hezekiah Alexander House. It has since been canceled.
Dana DeBellis said Virginia’s herb garden at
the McGill Rose Garden looks good. Members are invited to visit with clippers
to touch up or take cuttings on Monday-Friday from 9:30-11:30 when Eric and
Craig are there.
On Sunday, August 27 the Presidents’ Tea for
the Council will be held at the Council House. Mary Beth confirmed that all

Under new business, Mary Beth said the Council Newsletter includes an invitation to member of other Charlotte Council garden clubs to hear the speaker at the September CHG meeting. Anyone (not CHG members) planning to attend
is asked to RSVP to Susan Oleson. Susan will update the September hostesses,
Julie Courtney and Susan Poel, so they can plan refreshments accordingly.

Party on Sunday, October 15 at 3:00 might be open to all Garden Council club members.
Julie will talk with Eric Ritchie about space limitations at the McGill Garden.
Lana introduced the speaker, Mary Swindle from
