From Our President
Jane Leary
Every month, the President of the Board heads our general meeting and leads off with a personal message. The monthly President’s Message provides insight into the vision and goals of our club leader, who guides the organization for two terms.
The message is always informational and often inspirational, and we publish them here throughout the year.
Come to one of our regular meetings to hear the President’s Message in person! Meetings are held on the second Friday of the month, September – May, at 9:30 am in Laguna Presbyterian Church, Tankersley Hall, 415 Forest Avenue.
President’s Message, February 2023
It is February again. The most important date is not Valentine’s day on the 14th, but Friday the 10th when we have our yearly Plant and Planter Sale! It is open to the general public so members, hear my call and show us how creative you can be with things that will become containers for beautiful plants.
President’s Message, January 2023
Happy New Year to all of you! Now that the seasonal rush is over it is time to return to our gardens.
President’s Message, December 2022
I hope you all had as wonderful a Thanksgiving week as I did. On Monday, November 21, John Loomis and I were married! Thanksgiving itself was a delight: it is our favorite holiday because it is just about family being together and being grateful for one another.
President’s Message, November 2022
The end of the year is approaching and with it Thanksgiving and all the winter holidays: Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa. We are very fortunate to be able to live in Southern California and now is the time to think of those less fortunate.
President’s Message, October 2022
It is hard to believe that we are already in October. I find that the older I get, the faster time seems to pass by. Be that as it may, we are approaching two things: Southern California planting season and the peak of fire year.
President’s Message, September 2022
Welcome back to our 94th year of operation! After the privations of CoVid, we have come roaring back with our most successful Gate and Garden Tour ever. We have made donations to multiple organizations in town, some of which include the replanting and maintenance of The Presbyterian Church rose garden, a vegetable garden for the residents of Glenwood House, and a pollinator garden in Bluebird Canyon Park.
