Make, Bake or Grow

This meeting was held outdoors at Fowler Park. Members brought a gift for exchange that was homemade, baked or grown.

Participants moved to Christmas music in a 'musical cars' game and received the gift hidden in the car where they ended when music stopped.

Wreaths or door garlands submitted in a contest for a cash prize were displayed on member cars in the parking lot.

All safety precautions were taken with masks worn by participants.

Recap of Zoom Meetings

Vice President Charlotte Dewberry and Frances Tidd presented a program on growing bulbs. Some content included:

*Bulbs are best grown where they will get 6 or 7 hours of sun.

*If a bulb is an early bloomer, the bulb can be planted under or by a tree that will leaf out later.

*Planting area should be rich with organic soil and compost but not soggy, and amended as for a perennial.

*A bulb should be planted 3 times as deep as bulb is tall when outside temperature is 40-50 degrees.

*If pointy top is not obvious then lay bulb on its side.

Charlotte created a garland during the Zoom program, indicating materials needed.

*The items that are required for creating a garland are greens, heavy cord or rope, wire, scissors and desired embellishments.

*Greens can be cut from your yard.

*Find interesting items at the dollar stores to decorate your garland.

*When making bows, wired ribbon works best as it is easier to tweak.
