The beauty of the Great Sacandaga Lake provided the dramatic
background for the Sacandaga Garden Club's annual Luncheon and Auction at
Lanzi's Restaurant on Thursday, November 13th.
Members and their guests gathered in the main dining room and enjoyed a
tasty meal and libations along with cheerful conversations. Following the meal the guest auctioneer, Mr.
John Ferguson, took over and with great style and lots of good humor, got the
bidding going on a wide variety of items that had been donated by the
members.
A 50/50 cash prize and a raffle
for a beautiful quilt designed and crafted by Ruth Ralston were offered as
well. All of the proceeds realized at
the event will be used by the club to fund their various activities and to
sponsor a young person at a summer nature camp.
Many of the organization members assisted the Luncheon's chairwomen,
Gale McGowan, and provided all those gathered with a memorable experience.
The month of December promises to be a busy time for the
Garden Club. Members will meet on
December 4th in the Northville Presbyterian Church basement for a wreath making
workshop and a business meeting. Be on
the lookout for some of their amazing creations throughout the community!
A week later, on December 11th, the Garden
Club members will gather at the Northville Public Library for a holiday
party.
After a brief winter hiatus, club
meetings will resume on Thursday, March 5th in the Northville Public
Library. Mr. Fred Breglia, Director of
Horticulture and Operations at Landis Arboretum in Esperance, NY will be the
guest speaker. His presentation will be
"How to Prune Properly" and is open to the public.
