The Bermuda Run Garden Club met at the clubhouse on Wednesday, Nov. 5.
Members were greeted by a Thanksgiving themed centerpiece furnished by hostesses Diana Kaylor and Luanne Taylor, and welcomed the newest member, Dr. Adrienne Hill.
Marie Labarowski thanked everyone who helped with the shredding event on Oct. 19. She said the turnout was the lowest in the 10 years the club sponsored the event, but several hundred dollars profit will go for continuing support of the Davie Community Foundation.
The next shredding event will be in April.
Another foundation group the club supports is Pearls of Empowerment, a group that supports women and children facing homelessness. The club is gave $500 to this group.
Karen Cohn said club donations to Storehouse for Jesus makes a positive difference in the lives of our fellow Davie residents.
In addition to shredding events and geranium sales, the club earns money by winning prizes at the Carolina Classis Fair. President Donna Lamonds handed out 124 ribbons and certificates to the following members: Cindy O’Hagan, Alice Bostrom, Karen Cohn, PJ Guerra, Bonnie Rockaway, Diane Guthrie, Karen Coley, Amy Bridges, Shelby Nichols and Beth Wright. Donna herself earned 25 ribbons and one of the newer members, Diane Guthrie, won 20 and a certificate of merit for her floral design. A big thank you to chairs Shelby Nichols, Ann Cornwell and Bonnie Rockaway for leading this effort.
On Nov. 7 another group met the clubhouse to create centerpieces to adorn the tables that evening for the town of Bermuda Run’s 25th anniversary celebration. What a great event for Donna Lamonds, Diane Guthrie, Diana Kaylor, Janet Delong and Gaye Orsini to show that not only do members love to grow flowers, they love to style and share them.
Look for garden club members disguised as elves on the afternoon of Dec. 8 at Christmas in the Town of Bermuda Run.
