PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE - November 18, 2023
Dear Club Members,
Just a reminder that the deadline for ordering flowers and herbs from the Jolly Farmer Plant Sale is fast approaching. This is an important fund raiser for the club. Along with flowers, the sale includes beautiful hanging baskets and adorable herb trays with multiple kind of herbs. Ray Miner is the hard working volunteer who heads up the plant sale team. Ray will take calls evenings and this weekend to answer your questions. (Sale ends November 24th.) Ray works at Bar Harbor Bank which has graciously allowed people to pick up plant sale order forms and/or drop off completed forms and checks made out to the GGC for half the order costs. Here's the link to all the info:

And here are some volunteer opportunities:
Looking for a volunteer to set up the coffee and tea station for the 2nd Friday club meetings when they're held at the town hall in 2024 (approximately six times). If you're planning to come to the December 8th holiday centerpiece workshop, Kathy Houghton can show you the ropes. (This doesn't involve baking or setting up the chairs for meetings).
We would like to have a Fund Raising Team Lead for 2024. The team lead would coordinate with the team leads for the yard sale, Music in the Meadow, bulb sale and a fund raiser to replace the tea party. Speaking of which, Kathy Houghton is hanging up her apron after two incredible years running the tea party. Chances are there won't be a tea party in 2024 unless someone wants to take over the event. As the Fund Raising Team Lead you help decide on a fund raising event in lieu of the tea party.
If you are interested in learning more about these volunteer opportunities, please give me a call, and I'll explain the details.
Thanks for all you do!
Terri
