As we celebrate 75 years this year, we have a proud past with many accomplishments. We still have TODAY, and we must be conscious of the future to continue our mission of beautification, conservation, and education. June Wood, NGC President , states in her acceptance speech: "We must preserve those aspects of our organization that are successful today, but we must be continuously searching for improvement, and be willing to make changes when change is necessary. There is nothing to be gained by promoting change just for the sake of making change, but we must always be willing to COURAGEOUSLY and BOLDLY embrace change when it is needed. Being locked into a mentality of always doing things a certain way only because 'Ihis is the way we've always done it" is one sure way to assure that as an organization we will have no viable future. We, as a District, need to become open-minded and willing to make changes. We should change our ideas and attitudes to insure our future in The Garden Club of Georgia. |

I am very grateful for all who are serving on the Board and helping to make

leaders in your area. This Director is very appreciative for all you do and I'm
hoping that we will work together to make it happen. It isn't you or me, it is
WE. --- Beth Kennedy

Once again its time to start preparing for our
Fall District Meeting
COUNTRY STORE
. This is our District's
only
money making project, and we need your
enthusiasm and support to make this year's store the best ever.
Each club and Council is asked to bring a minimum of $25 in items to be sold or
make a donation of $25.
If you choose to make a donation, please make
checks payable to
OLEANDER DISTRICT
and mail to this chairman. If you choose to bring
items for sale, please have them PRICED and in the store as early as possible.
We will have someone there to check in your items or donations. Homemade items
sell best. We have time to prepare if we start now. A few suggested items are:
Plants, seeds, bulbs, flower arranging items, dried flowers, weeds and seed
pods, bird houses and feeders, decorated flower pots, baskets, Christmas &
Halloween items, wreaths, wood craft items, knitted and crocheted items,
aprons, and all baked goods and home canned items such as jams, jellies,
pickles, etc.

NATURAL DISASTERS
Last year $17,000 was awarded to victims of natural disasters. Five clubs in
Oleander District made contributions to the Natural Disaster Fund in
2002. This is a worthy cause and an easy way to earn a Certificate.
