Jensen Beach Garden Club Meetings

2018-2019

 

 

Oh boy, did we have a fun at the January meeting. Our room was transformed into the mad hatter's tea party with lot of goodies furnished by our hospitality committee. Our speaker was Tim Brown, Director of Education for the Treasure Coast Wildlife Center. Tim brought with him among others, a King snake, a baby gator, a crocodile, a Great Horned Owl  and a Red Tailed Hawk. 

 

 

Our December meeting /fundraiser was held on December 5th and was a lot of fun. More than twenty vendors showed their offerings to excited attendees. There was everything from jewelry, to artwork, to hand made "tied-up" furniture. Tons of raffles were won and an appetizer buffet was served. The proceeds will go far in providing summer scholarships.

 

 November's meeting was hands-on and rock-solid. The meeting kicked off with a class on creating concrete planters made with terry cloth. It was a bit messy but each member that participated had a special pot of their own making to take home. Everyone agreed this is a project that they would like to be repeated.

 

 

The first meeting of the 2018-2019 JBGC was well attended. We welcomed new members; Delphine Anderson, Sonya Brown, Mikki Ciombor, Nan Davis, Mary Decastro, Wanda Diaz, Steve Glowacki, and Jan Rogan. The executive board and committee chairs previewed the upcoming events, trips and fundraisers for the new season. The first fundraiser will be a vendor event with over 20 vendor offerings. Each vendor will also donate a basket to be raffled. The date for the event is December 5th from Noon to 4PM. Tickets are $25 and include admission and appetizer buffet. It will be held at Eagle's Nest Restaurant at the Eagle Marsh Golf Clubhouse.
