The
Charlotte Herb Guild
Meeting
Tuesday, July 9, 2019
Garden
Council House
1820
East 7th Street
Susan
Poel called the meeting to order at 6:40pm. The minutes from the June meeting
were unanimously approved.
Susan
Poel thanked those who provided refreshments for the meeting – Dixie Kelly,
Brenda Dills, and Julie Courtney.
Program members Lana Andrews, Debbie Bouton, and Ann Baldwin also
provided for the buffet. All were asked to send their recipes electronically to
Susan Oleson for distribution and posting on the blog.
Margie
Orell announced that one guest present was present, Fay, a friend of Lana and
Phyllis.
In
the absence of treasurer, Mary Beth Collins, Susan stated that the Guild has a
balance of $5842.04 in the bank, minus the $200 franchise fee that was paid to
the state. The Farmers’ Market made $1052, and due to the generosity of many
members, it only cost $270 to earn this money.
Lana
gave a brief overview of the upcoming programs:
·
The
August 13 meeting will be held at Savory Spice in Atherton Mill, 2000 South
Blvd., Suite 520, Charlotte. Parking is difficult, so members are encouraged to
carpool when possible. The program will be on Cooking Herbal Soups, and there
will be time to shop following the program. Since the shop closes at 6, we are
asked to arrive no earlier than 6:15-6:30.
·
The
September meeting will be at the McGill Rose Garden, 940 North Davidson Street,
on Sunday, Sept. 15 at 2:00 pm. Craig informed the group that Virginia’s Herb
Garden has been replanted and labeled, and we are welcome to take cuttings on
that day.
·
The
Annual Tea Party is scheduled for Saturday, October 12, at the Charlotte Museum
of History. The guest fee is $20. More information will be forthcoming.
Susan
Poel asked all members to “Like” the CHG Facebook page, created and updated
thanks to the efforts of Beth Burgin.
Lana,
Ann, and Debbie presented the program “Excess to Ecstasy – Using your Herbs,”
and members had an opportunity to bring home sprigs of many herbs donated by
members and many door prizes were awarded.
Respectfully,
Susan
Oleson
