We received 3 awards from the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs (FFGC) for 2019!
First, let me thank Bonnie B. our awards chair. Bonnie works very hard filling out the applications so that we can be eligible for awards. She takes and collects members photos and compiles information throughout the year. She fills out applications for each award category that she feels we most quality for and then turns in the applications in a timely manner. Without an active awards chairperson like Bonnie, all the wonderful things that we do would be over looked at Federation level. Thank you Bonnie!
So here our three awards that we won:
Award #2 Outstanding Leadership Award
For Outstanding Service in garden club work by an individual
Award recipient, Vicki Hearst
$50 cash prize
Award #17 -2B Decoration of a Historic Building Award
For Decoration of an Historic Building Windermere Town Hall – Candyland
The club will receive a check for $25.
We decorated the indoor Christmas tree, the mantel and the outside “Natural” tree.
After the take down of the tree, many of the decorations were donated to Molly Rae Elementary to be repurposed in their Spring carnival. Sadly, the carnival was postponed but the decorations are being stored in their PTSA storage closet for the future.
Additionally, we were recognized this year by the Town of Windermere and presented a plaque for more than 20 years of service to the town.
Special thanks to our Christmas Chair, Carolin Warren and all the WGC members that come out and help. Thank you for this year and all the past year’s hard work.
#29A Community Service Design Award (Civic Award)
Hospice Flowers
The club will receive a check for $25.
Not only do our members create beautiful hospice flower arrangements that are delivered each month to the Ocoee Health Care Center, we also donated flowers to the center’s Mother’s Day celebration for all the residents.
Special thanks to the Hospice Flower Chair, Rena Farley, and all members who make and donate hospice flowers.
*The FFGC awards won by District VII clubs will be presented at the next District VII general meeting.
Thank you everyone for what you do to make our club great!
Until we meet again, stay healthy.
Vicki Hearst
President
