PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE:

Welcome Back! We hope everyone had a nice summer and are ready for a new season. We will be starting up again in September with our First Board meeting on September 7 and are ready for a new and exciting season. Claudia Belshaw will be our new president. Ann Rieger Matthews will be stepping down and taking an advisory role.

The Forest Hill Garden Club proudly enters its 96th year! That’s not just a milestone, it’s a legacy! With deep satisfaction and gratitude, we reflect on the many fine traditions and happy events that have characterized the club’s activities over the decades. We are happy with our accomplishments and are looking forward to another amazing year.

Our dues have stayed the same this year at $75.00 per person. Our membership is open to anyone, of any age, who is a member of the Forest Hill Association or renting in the neighborhood. We also will be hosting parties generally in the evenings (e.g., the holiday party in December). There is an additional cover charge for some of these events to cover the costs of catering, music, and decorations. General Meetings are open to non-members as guests for $10.00, and to all members free as part of your membership.

Our first General Meeting will be on September 21 at 1:00pm. This is our annual chicken salad luncheon to welcome everyone back to a new season of the Garden Club. Please RSVP with Claudia in advance so we ensure we can accommodate all guests. Please call or email Claudia: Phone 415-450-0008 or email at cbelshaw16@aol.com, to let her know if you can attend. We will need to know a head count by September 10th. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Attached is an application for your membership renewal. Please fill out and send it with your dues to Yen Bachmeier as indicated in the renewal form.

We are excited to see you in September!
