THE GARDEN CLUB OF LEXINGTON GENERAL MEETING JANUARY 15, 1998 The Garden Club of Lexington met Thursday, January 15th at Idle Hour Country Club. Hostesses were Helen Breckenridge and Jane Milward. Linda Carey, vice president, called the meeting to order at 10:40. Ginny May introduced our speaker, Barbara Hanson, a member of the Garden Club of Barrington. She is a remarkably talented and active lady having served as president of the Barrington Club and vice president and treasurer of GCA. In addition she is nationally recognized for her flower arranging and judging. Needless to say, it was an outstanding program. Barbara talked first about arranging and then told us a little about the Philadelphia Flower Show. We were then treated to beautiful slides from the show with her narration. It was simply wonderful. Linda thanked Barbara and Kay Steffe for hosting Barbara and inviting her. A very brief business meeting followed. Anne Gay moved to dispense with the reading of the minutes, Ginny Adams seconded and the motion passed. There were no committee reports. Linda distributed the slate which will be voted on in March. Mott Nicol gave a short update on Annual Meeting 1998. She asked for volunteers to make food or donate money to purchase food for the Hospitality Suite. She passed around a sign up sheet. Linda thanked Helen and Jane for being hostesses. The next meeting will be Thursday, March 19th at 11:00 at Idle Hour. Hostesses are Sarah Davis, Delia Kessinger and Scotty Walton. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 12: 15. Respectfully submitted W W Libby Brown Secretary
