Victoria Adkins began her presidency with an excellent progra, presented by Janet Peele, on home remedies for the gardener. We learned new (and some old) tricks. We gathered at the Ball Center and had a very good turnout.

We celebrated the end of the year at the Weymouth Center with a festive spring brunch and champagne and had an interesting program on Forest Bathing. To get the full effect of the program, we opened all the windows and doors and communed with Nature!

It was also a time of change… Pat Welch hosted the brunch and used the opportunity to thank the members of her Board of Directors for their contributions and hard work. We kept our Club intact and active throughout the Pandemic…something we are very proud of, since many of the local clubs didn’t meet for an extended period. Pat then introduced Victoria Adkins, incoming President and she and her board were sworn in. Congratulations to all!

A festive brunch with a spring theme was enjoyed by Alice, Nancy, Martha and Jan!
