Wednesday

Sandra Hall and Elsie Rothe welcomed and registered delegates for the day's activities.

Everyone arrived at the Church early Wednesday morning for breakfast before the day's activities.

There was quite an assortment available for a light breakfast.

The delegates checked out the country store and were very surprised to find that ALL of the items
had been donated to the Thrift Shop.

Carolyn Muennink and Betty Heyen checked out all the happy shoppers.

Evelyne read this poem which was perfect for a room full of gardeners:

Flower

Flower, flower grow for me
Become a flower from a seed,
Grow your roots and a stem,
Let the water come right in.

Flower, flower you are true,
You make me happy when I am blue,
You became a flower from a seed,
You did all that just for me.

Karen Flores with the Terrell Heights Garden Club gave the response to the welcomes
