Soperton Mayor Reggie Evans proclaimed Sunday, November 20, 2011 as Soperton Garden Club Day to celebrate the club's 80 years of service to the community. The Club was founded in 1931 and joined the Garden Club of Georgia in 1935.

Legislative Committee Chairman Liz DeMato (left) is pictured with Marilyn Cheney, Oleander District Co-Director. Liz reported to the January 2012 Oleander District Board meeting about the upcoming annual Garden Club of Georgia Day at the Capitol. The event will begin with a breakfast followed by a workshop and then an opportunity to meet State Representatives and Senator.

Lee Dunn (second from left), GCG Cherokee Garden Library Liaison & Historic House and Garden Fundraiser Advisor was the featured speaker at the 84th annual luncheon hosted by Cassina Garden Club on February 9, 2012 on St. Simons Island. Lee's presentation focused on the work of the Georgia Historic Landscape Initiative.


District Director Sharon Flores, left, and Annual Meeting Co-Chairs Patsy Harrison and Sandra Johanek display the thousands of aluminum tabs that were contributed by Oleander club members at the District Meeting. Sale of the tabs benefits seriously ill or injured children, helping provide a "home away from home" for families with critically ill children in Savannah area hospitals.

Sharon Flores presented checks for $100 each to WAFA Youth winners April Bleakley, age 11, center, and Chloe Taylor, age 10, of Brunswick. Both April and Chloe received first place awards at the recent World Association of Flower Arrangers 10th Annual Show in Boston. Chloe, who also won the bronze medal, was the only medal winner for the United States in Youth Class #34.

In October, the Springfield Garden Club participated in the Effingham County Fair by building a float for the parade and manning a booth at the fair. The theme of the booth was "Growing a Strong Future for Tomorrow by Keeping Our Rivers Clean." The club is celebrating its 75th anniversary.
