At our March meeting we watched Kaye Vosburgh create nine beautiful Ikebana arrangements. She gave us design pointers as she worked. Thank you to Gabrielle who took some wonderful photos of the flowers to share with us. Enjoy!

 

Our December meeting was a curbside drive-by of five Member’s homes with each of their entries decorated by a small team of club members. You can enjoy the results by viewing Linda’s wonderful photos of the houses. Following the tour we had a delicious luncheon at the Pierce House and honored past presidents. I choose “view with PicLens” . Slideshow does not work for me.
