Notes from Andrea Lewis

District 9 Garden Club Presidents and District Chairs,

I'm sure that you all are busy trying to complete everything that needs to be done, both in your own gardens and in your own garden clubs.  Just a few reminders and pieces of information:

1.  PLEASE send me the name(s), address, phone number, and email for new president(s) of your club.  If you will have the same one, let me know.  I need this information by May 18th, if possible.

2.  The District 9 Presidents' Meeting will be in Mebane on June 7th, from 9AM until noon.  It will be in the Historic Woodlawn School.  Directions and further details will be forthcoming.

3.  Thanks to the 77% of you who sent in Club Annual Reports back in January - next year, we'll do even better!

4.  Congratulations to the following clubs for winning GCNC awards: Chapel Hill, Heritage in Durham, Woodland in Henderson, Emma Harris in Mebane, Hillsborough, and Roxboro.

5.  Thanks to all of you for submitting National Life Memberships and SAR memberships - District 9 had the highest # of SAR memberships and was in a 5-way tie for National Life memberships.

6.  Remember to send a death notification form to Pat Lopp (Memorial Chair) and to me.

7.  Remember to place flowers in the VA Chapel in Durham when it is your turn.

Thanks for all that you do for all phases of garden clubs in North Carolina, in District 9, and in your own local clubs!!!!
