We wouldn’t want to have to water the three-plus acres of luscious gardens belonging to Christine and Gil Pritchard, but we surely enjoyed spending time in all the interesting “rooms” designed by DeLette Spain.

Birds, birds, birds!   We were lucky to ave Park Ranger, Mark Prinz, present an overview for us on Backyard Birds in the Sandhills.  His presentation was wideranging, from habits of the various birds we see frequently in the Sandhills to how and what to feed and maintain a welcome environment.

Our illustrious First VP, Hartley Fitts, was awarded the Sequoia Award for all her efforts on behalf of the Club during this Club Year, and we missed sharing that in our May blog!  Hartley was recognized by President, Linda Lindsey, because she not only managed all our programs for us but also came up with the amazing idea to hold our very successful Blooming Art event.   On top of that, she managed the entire project from beginning to end — and what a success that was!  We’re so lucky to have this plucky lady share her talents with us!   What would we do without her???  Congratulations, Hartley!
