2008 Fund-raising Goal
At the January Docent Meeting, inspired by our desire to honor one of our own, Garden Docents and Volunteers decided that our group would raise funds to pay for the redesign of the Sensory Garden to honor Dorcas Utter.
Ideas for raising funds include a possible garage sale to be hosted by Marilyn H. Cynthia C continues her efforts to coordinate the Opportunity Drawings for the Spring and Fall Plant Sales and the Spring Garden Festival.
All fund-raising efforts should be coordinated through The Garden’s Volunteer Coordinator, Laurie Furry.
See the President's Message page in this issue for more information about funding activities at the non-profit Water Conservation Garden.
