PRESIDENTS' MESSAGE:

How diverse are the trees of Forest Hill? In January’s general meeting Mike Sullivan lead us on a virtual tour of San Francisco trees, and more specifically a detailed view of our neighborhood’s most spectacular trees. Mike’s presentation was fascinating and enjoyable. There were lots of great questions from the audience, who were captivated by what Mike had to say.

Thank you to Linda Simonin for chairing the meeting and arranging for Mike to be or guest speaker. Thank you to all the bakers, as well as those who helped with setup/take down: Claudia Belshaw, Saundra McCormick, Eva Monroe, Laura Outsen, Mary Palmer, Stan Puck, Amy Quirk, Ann Rieger-Matthews, Linda Simonin, Julia Stroud, Amy Hartman, and all who helped pitch-in. Many hands to create a sense of community and make providing great programs easier to manage.

If you are interested in being on the Forest Hill Garden Club Board or being more involved in the operations of the FHGC, please contact one of the Nomination Committee Members: Saundra McCormick, Donna De Santis-Buoymaster, Debora Gaspari, or Maria Elena Hanley. We are looking for more volunteers for next year.

Best,
Ann Rieger-Matthews & Claudia Belshaw
