Warren Garden Club meets in August

President Suzanne Barone welcomed members and guests to the August 17 meeting of Warren Garden Club at St. Joseph Catholic Church.

The program for the day was Decorating a Float for the Pasadena Rose Bowl Parade. Tina West and Pam McAulay gave a power point presentation on how these floats are created. West and McAulay shared with the group the work that goes into using flowers, seeds and pods to produce the lovely floats that are completely covered with living material. The speakers also shared their many interesting experiences while volunteering to help decorate the float, Toys for Tots.

President Barone announced that the District 8 meeting will be held in Erie. All those who wish to attend should contact Sue Barone to make a reservation.

The Woodland Garden is doing well. Weeding and trimming is all that is needed in August.

A letter was read from the City of Warren, 2017 Playground Program, thanking the club for the flowers planted at Beaty, Lacy and Crescent Parks.

Mary Lou VanDorn brought milkweed seeds to share with the club. Milkweed is necessary for the Monarch Butterfly.

The Horticultural Therapy committee under the direction of Sharon Hecei met at Cambridge Assisted Living. Residents of the center enjoyed brunch month. Gail Cowan presented a program on antique kitchen utensils. Next month Cambridge residents will make sunflowers. The hostess committee, Chairman Cindy Jarzab and committee Dookie Broussard, Nancy Crawford and Louise Dyer were thanked for the Rose Bowl Parade table decorations and for the summer desserts.

New members and guests were welcomed. Warren Garden Club always welcomes new members. Meetings are held at 1 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month from March through December.

The next meeting will be 1 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 21, at the Sharon Miller home in Clarendon.
