The Charlotte Herb Guild
Meeting of February 12, 2019
Garden Council House
1820 East Seventh Street
President Mary Beth Collins called the meeting to
order at 6:30 pm. The group enjoyed a wonderful array of food provided by the
members for the annual pot luck dinner. Mary Beth thanked Patti Harlan, Dana
DeBellis, and those who came early to set up tables for their efforts in making
the dinner such a success. She reminded all members to send their recipes to
Susan.
Mary Beth asked for approval of the January meeting
minutes. Stephanie Holden made a motion, and they were duly approved.
Margie Orell reminded attendees that dues must be paid
before the March meeting. The form and a check for $30 may be mailed to Margie
or given to her at the February meeting. Margie’s address is 1133 Berkeley
Avenue, Charlotte, NC 28203.
Dixie Kelly presented the Treasurer’s report. The
guild has a current balance of $5708.
Program co-chairs gave updates on the coming year and
all programs have been confirmed. The March meeting will try a new approach to
fundraising with a Silent Auction. Members are asked to bring anything related
to herbs or gardening to the next meeting.
Mary Beth took a vote on changing the starting time of
future meetings. After a discussion and vote it was decided that members want
to begin meetings at 6:00 p.m.
Holly Jeffries and Julie Courtney gave a brief update
on the Farmers Market. It will be on the Saturday before Mothers’ Day, May 11.
They asked for people to consider items that might sell well with a range of
price points. Lana showed some seed bombs she made from papier-mâché. Holly asked
if anyone knew of certified kitchens we might use. She will investigate the YWCA
on Park Road and Caldwell Presbyterian Church.
Margie gave
the Herb of the Month presentation on Spanish lavender.
Stephanie Holden
is assigning people to hostess; it is a responsibility for each member.
The next meeting will be March 12 with a presentation on
“The Many Uses of Lavender” by Lavender Fields from Gastonia as well as our first
Silent Auction. Guests are welcome for a $5.00 fee.
Respectfully submitted,
Susan Oleson
Communications Chair
