BEAUTIFUL "FRENCH KISS" DECOR

Here's a little look at some of the fabulous decorating designs from the "French Kiss" evening. Nan and Pam really did a wonderful job! From the gorgeous table settings to all of the very special little exquisite details! OOO-LA-LA.

JANUARY 2010 MEETING

Our January Garden Club meeting was held at the TPC Southwind Clubhouse. Joan Doty, Master Flower Show Judge, was our guest speaker. She had a wonderful program for us about "Understanding the Elements of Floral Design." We learned a lot from her about basic design in preparing for our flower show coming up in April. After Joan's presentation, many of us stayed at the Club and enjoyed having lunch together.

We also had a drawing for the winners of the professional organizer services. This was the big fund raising project of the Ways and Means committee this year. Paula Brown (right) won the big prize of 10 hours of service and Shirley Williams (left) and Diane Baskin each won 5 hours.

Merry Moore (center), chairman of the Smokey Bear/Woodsey Owl National Poetry and Essay Contests Committee, gave a report on the contests' successes. Here with Merry, as the committee shows off some of the poster entries from some talented young artists, are Kathy Pileggi (left) and Elizabeth Blaylock (right).

OH! WHAT AN EVENING!

The "French Kiss" cooking class and dinner that was held on February 8 at Pam Duncan's beautiful home had to be the event of the year. What a treat to get to see Master French Chef Jose Gutierrez work his magic!

We all loved his accent! OOO-LA-LA!
