Per the bylaws, this list stays within the club — please don't forward it outside the membership.
2026–2027 club year.
Chaired by Club Services Co-Chairs Dee Brennan and Linda Nuzzo. Refreshments for monthly meetings rotate among active and new members.
Every Tuesday, September to December, the club supplies the Essex Library with a fresh arrangement — flowers, plants, or accessories with plant material. Deliver and remove arrangements on Tuesday; if material isn't hardy, check and refresh mid–week.
Members get an email reminder mid-month and a VSP reminder 5 days before their date. Can't cover your date? Arrange a substitute and let Julie O'Connor know at 860-384-0143 or jccgolden@icloud.com.
Members are encouraged to bring plant material from their gardens to display at business meetings, following the Horticulture Committee's monthly theme. Identify the botanical names on your entry — completed ID cards earn points toward the President's Award at the Annual Business Meeting.
