Ten members attended the September 2011 meeting of the Burnett Garden Club held at Grantsburg High, school, room 111. They were: Linnea, Mary G., Wanda, Becky, Janet, Nori , Cindy K., Pam and new members Raine Lampert and daughter Mikhalla.

Pam called the meeting to order. Introductions were made for the new members. Discussion ensued about member access to post to the blog. Pam will look into options.

Treasurer's report was given by Becky: current balance is 2287.39. Report on the June plant sale: gross revenues were 721.00 and post sale sales of 55.00 giving a total of 776.00. Expenses for soil 103.99, hostas $75.00, lumber for potting area $30.00. A profit of 567.01 was realized.

Signup sheets for 2012 committees, refreshments and program ideas were made available to attendees. The club will need a new chair for the plant sale committee in 2012.

Becky reported on the sign committee. She will decide on a cleanup date for early October or late September. Becky observed that shorter days mean little time in the early evening for this task.

Old Business:

Recap of the summer given by Pam especially how the July 1 storm impacted our summer programs. Last minute cancellation of the community garden tour was very disappointing to gardeners who prepared for the tour. Our regrets and thanks go to these individuals with our hope they will be able and willing to showcase their gardens next year.

New Business:

Dues are being collected for the 2012 calendar year. Call for volunteers for the nominating committee as new officers will be elected in November. Please share your ideas for workshops and presentations for our 2012 program year on the sign up sheets. The agendas and presentations for October (Jacki Bedworth willow weaving workshop--supplies will be $5.00 per person) and November meetings (election of officers and braided wheat ornament workshop) were given.

No other new business.

Our guest speaker for this evening is Kevin Schoessow from the extension office in Spooner. Pam and Becky providing refreshments following the program.

Motion to adjourn was offer by Wanda, seconded by Janet and confirmed with a unanimous vote.
