ANOTHER FIRST-RATE PRGRAM !!!
On Wednesday, March 9, Kathy Church returned by popular demand to the Club—this time to present an informative and entertaining program on the Life and Times of our Southern Cherokee and Creek people. Her demonstration included an assortment of artifacts—one of which is over 3000 years old!

We discovered, also, that Kathy is quite accomplished with blowgun and dart!

TOGETHER AGAIN FACE-TO-FACE!!
Garden Club members were delighted to gather for their annual Spring Meeting and Installation of Officers for 2021-22. The Achasta Clubhouse provided abundant space for any desired social-distancing, and as the photos show, fully vaccinated members took advantage of the opportunity to reveal smiling, beautiful, unmasked faces.
The air of celebration and revitalization was emphasized by such details as the flower centerpieces, butterfly table decor, and butterfly embellished boxes of Jordan Almonds for each attendee. Appreciation was expressed to those members who devoted their time, energy, and creativity to this effort.
Lunch consisted of an appetizer of hummus with carrot and celery sticks; quiche; Caesar salad; and cheesecake.
