BULLETIN    

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE:

Welcome Back! We hope everyone had a nice summer and are ready for a new season. Claudia Belshaw and Ann Rieger Matthews will be serving the club as co-presidents.

The Forest Hill Garden Club proudly enters its 95th 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 meeting will be on September 15, at 1:00pm and is the 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 our 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 send your dues to Yen Bachmeier or bring a check to the luncheon on September 15.

We are excited to see you in September!

NOTES: Upcoming Event

Monday, October 20, 2025 Manet & Morisot. We are thrilled to bring back Art-Talk from the Fine Art Museum of San Francisco. French Impressionists Édouard Manet was the era’s great pioneer of modern painting, and Berthe Morisot, the only woman to exhibit under her own name in the original Impressionist group. Unfolding over a period of 15 years was the evolution of a friendship between two groundbreaking artists. This exhibit will be at the Legion of Honor and the docent presentation will be at the Clubhouse. Don’t miss it!

Monday, December 8, 2025 We are hard at work preparing for a special Holiday Celebration as our Garden Club steps into its 95th year. The theme is “Shinning Together: The Spark We Share”. You and your friends are invited to join us at this joyous gathering of Laughter, Light and Togetherness. Mark your calendar to save the date. Details coming soon.
