PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE:

A new FHGC season begins!

On September 15, we celebrated the beginning of our new season as Garden Club steps into its 95th year, with a delightful chicken salad luncheon for 27, lovingly prepared by Kathleen Fong and her daughter Melanie. Thank you to Kathleen and Melanie, for preparing a delicious luncheon for all of us to enjoy! Claudia Belshaw and Ann Rieger-Matthews were the hosts of the event. Thank you also to Linda Simonin for helping to set up the tables and chairs. Anna Bolechowski and Nancy Hagosian, your flower arrangements and table setting were beautiful, thank you. Thank you to Marcia Elias who provided a celebratory cake to begin our new season. Thank you all for your hard work. We had a lovely afternoon and relaxing time to enjoy lunch and visit with many friends we haven’t seen all summer.

Our next event is on October 20th, at 1:00pm. We are thrilled to bring back Art-Talk from the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco. The topic will be Manet & Morisot, a tale of complex and celebrated artistic relationship between the two groundbreaking artists, unfolding over a period of 15 years. We all heard of the famed French impressionist Édouard Manet but Berthe Morisot was the only woman to exhibit under her own name in the original Impressionist group. The talk will be presented by FAMSF docent Christina Crosby. Yen Bachmeier will be the chair of this event.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Thanks,
Claudia Belshaw and Ann Rieger-Matthews
