The November 7, 2007 meeting of the club. (Click on photos to enlarge them.)

Club President, Homer Wishek leading the meeting.

We were entertained by Cliff Meng, President of the OC Cactus and Succulent Society. He showed us how to "raise the root" of a plant and pot it for a striking design element in the garden.

Cliff brought many of his ribbon winning plants.

Club members donate a floral design for the cookie table each month. This was created by new member, Myra Camilo. Thanks Myra.

We donated the arangement to the RIO Adult Day Care Center after the meeting. We do our monthly Garden Therapy at the RIO and they are so appreciative!

Pumpkin day at Rio Adult Day Care

The Rio Adult Day Care Center is where we offer our Garden Therapy projects.

Emilie Matthews and Ginnie Churchill are coordinators of the monthly programs.

Every year club member Tom Benton donates pumpkins for the clients at the Adult Day Care center. Our club organizes pumpkin decorating supplies and invite members to join the fun. We help these excited people decorate their very own pumpkin to take home. Tom brought 60 pumpkins and went home with one - the one Wilma decorated as a demonstration. This is one of the highlights of the year for these folks.
