Club notes - Nov. 4

Encanto Garden Club

Encanto Garden Club met Oct. 18 in the home of Marcella Roy. Present members include Jacque Wuest, Donna Whitfield, Bobbi Lyones, Joanne Augenstein, Barbara Voges, Helen Martinez and Jessica Belew. After the gardner’s prayer we enjoyed refreshments and the Halloween decor Marcella provided.

The business portion addressed the treasurer’s report which included gifts to The Food Bank of Eastern New Mexico, Hillcrest Park Zoo, the library and the Red Cross to help hurricane victims. By unanimous decision meeting dates were changed to the second Thursday of every month.

After business matters were finalized we had open chatter on our family and friends and a correspondence from long time member Elsie Dean who now resides in Oregan with family. President Helen Martinez gave a horticulture report and handouts regarding winter container gardens during cold season.

We all enjoyed each others company, sharing new and old information regarding gardening, and we are looking forward to the upcoming holiday months where we can gather again.
