Al Powell would appreciate your cards, or better yet, a visit from MG friends. He is at Summit Place, 491 Highway 17, Little River, SC 29566.
John Kellett fell and broke his arm – we hope he’s doing well, and again he’d like to hear from you – send him a card and wish him a speedy recovery.
And Mae Moore is recovering from surgery. She was in a large class – if you were a classmate, let her hear from you.
Shirley Waggoner-Eisenman says “Thank You” to everyone who worked to make the Reunion Social a big success. And many of the MGs who attended expressed their appreciation and talked about what a great event it was. The Botanical Garden was a perfect setting, the weather was great and it was fun getting together just to socialize.
Our two entries in the Regional Fair in Wilmington netted us a First Place and Second Place award. Not only did we receive a total of $350 in prize money, but the first place entry received a “Best in Show” ribbon, too. Thanks to the following MGs for their efforts in putting together the entries:
Barbara McCoy Shirley Waggoner-Eisenman
Vicki Kay Dominique Loewenstein
Maggie Hoon Pat Hagerty
Ann Marie Bellamy Richard Boland
David Barkley
Shirley Waggoner-Eisenman has been elected President of the North Carolina Master Gardener Volunteer Association. Congratulations, Shirley.
