The Monroeville Garden Club met on September 8, 2022, at the home of Evelyn Bond, hostess, with Gail Touchton as co-hostess.
President Bev Colquett called the meeting to order. Sammye Long, Recording Secretary, called roll. Members attending were: Dianne Bond, Evelyn Bond, Elba Bonham, Sara Bradley, Sharon Brewton, Judi Burns, Bev Colquett, Sherri Eubanks, Brenda Gardner, Pat Hendrix, Carolyn Hutcherson, Sammye Long, Martha Moorer, Jeanne Sewell, Jean Singleton, Ree Smith, Vonceil Stringer, Scarlet Strom, Patsy Wadlington, and Laura York. Those absent were: Laura Bodiford, Tonja Carter, Margaret Groves, Charlotte Lambert, Ann Pridgen, Holly Tennimon, Gail Touchton, and Nancy Ziebach.
Members were reminded to make a reservation for the October meeting as it will be a workshop led by Charlotte Lambert to make a hummingbird feeder and supplies must be purchased. New club yearbook sheets were dispersed and future programs discussed.
Afterwards, Bev gave a program on how to decoupage bowls, plates, vases, etc., with napkins. Dianne Bond assisted in demonstrating the technique by decoupaging a tray.
Following the program, members enjoyed an assortment of muffins, nuts, red velvet and cheese cake, ham salad sandwiches, lemonade and coffee. Beautiful china, silverware, napkins, and serving dishes, along with a gorgeous arrangement of cut flowers from Evelyn’s garden succeeded in making the refreshment table as beautiful as it was delicious.
We were excited to begin the new year with veteran members, as well as, several new “budding gardeners.”! (Sammye Long)
