We start the New Year with our Joint Meeting with Southern Pines Garden Club

Leave a comment

January saw our Club gather for our annual joint meeting with the Southern Pines Garden Club at the Weymouth Center in Southern Pines.   Our event began with wonderful treats and coffee provided by both clubs.  Our joint program was a fascinating presentation by Deedee Dalrymple on “Effortless Entertaining”.    Her program focused on how to “open your home, open your heart and give the gift of hospitality.

The gorgeous centerpiece set the tone for the lovely refreshments. We’d all love to entertain with a centerpiece like this one!
