The West Chicago Garden Club

Are you ready for the much-anticipated Garden Dollars Auction? We have many items for the silent auction that will take place before, during, and after our dinner.

For dinner, chicken, beverages, and tableware will be provided. Please bring a salad, side dish, or dessert to share, arriving no later than 6:30 p.m.

For the auction, bring your Garden Dollars with you—they are the only currency that will be accepted to redeem auction items. 25 Garden Dollars will be given to each attendee as they enter the meeting. Do you still have uncollected Garden Dollars from this year’s activities? (see sheet on page 5 of the November newsletter for how to earn) Figure up how much you’re owed, and collect them from the welcome table as you enter.

Renew your membership at the November meeting, and earn 50 Garden Dollars!

We had a great time at the Ice Cream Social in September.  It’s such a good time to relax and enjoy the garden without a tool in hand.  Also, great to win some loot at auction!  Continue Reading »
