• GCFM Design Workshop: Tu 10/28 in Dedham

  • When
    28 Oct 2025
  •  
    10:00 AM - 11:30 AM
  • Location
    TU 10/28 in Dedham & MON 12/1 in Wareham

  ~ GCFM Design Workshops ~

  I’d like to call your attention to two design classes that are being advertised on the Garden Club Federation of MA, Inc. website.  One is a class on transparency design which will be taught by Ruth Evans on October 28 in Dedham.  The second is an underwater design class that will be held in Wareham on December 1 and taught by Judy Morgan.  I am so thrilled to be able to offer these classes with unusual designs and excellent teachers.

  These classes are good for new flower show school judges, student judges, aspiring flower show entrants, and anyone who wants to experiment with their floral arranging and create something different.

  Hope to see you this fall at these events.

  Regards,

  Margo Yie

  "Hospitality Sign Up for General Meetings"  

  If you will be attending a CGCD general meeting, please consider lending a hand with 'Hospitality' while you are there.   At each general meeting, different members are needed to volunteer for 'Hospitality'  set up, provisions & end of meeting breakdown. Many hands make light work & we aim to keep our meetings running smooth. So after you decide to attend, please take a look at the SUG (SignUp Genius) to see what task is available just for you. 

  Let's  all continue to make our general meetings so welcoming and enjoyable.
