September meeting minutes (somewhat belated)

BURNETT GARDEN CLUB

MEETING MINUTES

Thursday, September 10, 2009


The Burnett Garden Club met at 7PM Thursday evening, September 10, 2009 at Grantsburg High School. There were 12 members and 1 guest in attendance: Ruth Anderson, Wanda Biorn, Janet Byers, Molly Byers, Lucille Danielson, Mary Griesbach, Theresa Halls, Kris Henning, Alma Karels, Cynthia Leonard, Linnea Seume and Mary Ann White. Tim Tessman made a brief appearance to deliver seeds from their gardens for the swap. And we welcomed guest Gaye Gunderson to our group, who is now a new member!

Secretary’s Report: none to report as no minutes are taken during the summer gatherings.

Treasurer’s Report: There was no treasurer’s report due to the absence of Becky Tessman.

Old Business: none.

New Business: Dues and subscriptions to Northern Gardner magazine are due.

We discussed and solicited ideas for next year’s programs, meetings, workshops and refreshments sign-ups. Kris and Lucille will search for original documents describing the structure of the Club and officer duties. Voting will be next month. Kris and Wanda both agreed to serve again. Mary G. was undecided. Becky was not present.

We reviewed the necessary details for next month’s meeting at Bob and Joni Hartshorn’s apple orchard. We deceided to change the carpooling time to 5:30 in order to have enough daylight to enjoy our outdoor activities. The meeting will cancel if raining, otherwise be advised to dress for the weather.

Kris then led us in a bulb-forcing workshop, all materials provided courtesy of the Club! Available to pot up were tulips, narcissus and iris. Everyone went home with 1-2 pots of hope to store in their refrig for a few weeks.

We then broke for refreshments provided by Theresa and Molly and also proceeded to share seeds and plants generously shared between members. Everyone went home with new things to get established before freeze-up!

Our next scheduled meeting is Thursday, October 8, 2009 at Holmes Lake Apple Orchard. We will be carpooling from the high school at 5:30PM. Directions will be available via email and on the website. Refreshments will be provided by MaryAnn White and Cynthia Leonard.

My apologies for errors and any information that was inadvertently omitted.

Respectfully submitted,

Mary Griesbach
