MESSAGE FROM THE BERMUDA RUN GARDEN CLUB PRESIDENT


March 2015

Dear Bermuda Run Garden Club Friends,

What a privilege it was to serve as your president during the past year; and what a privilege it is to be asked to serve a second term! Last year we “made a beautiful difference through gardening and friendship” by continuing our tradition of learning together and reaching out to others in our community. What amazing things we accomplished together!

As we celebrated the 30th Anniversary of the Bermuda Run Garden Club, we honored the past and looked toward the future; and we focused on giving back to our community. While continuing to support our on-going programs and projects, we also initiated new projects such as our Shredding Event and the community-wide “blanket drive” for A Storehouse for Jesus. We envisioned being an on-line resource for the community, so we began to design our own website.

Some might wonder how a Garden Club of our size has been able to make such an impact. The answer lies in our remarkable members! I congratulate each of you for the incredible gifts of your time and talents that you have so generously given! I thank you for the “Energizer Bunny” in each of you whose enthusiasm and dedication contributes so much to the success of our programs and projects!

As we look forward, we will see that the coming year is full of more opportunities to learn and give, more fun, more friendship. We will visit fascinating places and hear from experts that, although they’re in our own “backyard,” we’ve never visited or heard from before. I’m excited to begin a new year of “Growing Gardens and Cultivating Community!” I hope you are too!

Sue

BIG FLOWER/ LITTLE BUD: Big Flower (Sponsor) - Little Bud (new member) is a sisterhood mentoring program intending to help new members quickly understand the activities of the Garden Club. It is suggested the “Flower” support, nurture and invite the “Bud" to accompany her committee meetings where she can observe and learn the purpose of the committee. Hopefully this process will enable the new member to identify areas in which she is most interested thus promoting participation in the club.

ProjectsBermuda Run Garden Club

Projects 2015-‐2016

1. BeauDficaDon of the NeighborhoodAs a service to the neighborhood, members water and prune two large planters at the Bermuda Run Post Office. The club coordinates new planDngs in the spring and the fall. Garden Club members are scheduled on a rotaDng weekly basis to water, deadhead, and ferDlize the plants

2. Bermuda Run Garden Club Endowment Fund – Community FoundaDon of Davie County The Bermuda Run Garden Club Endowment Fund is a Donor-‐Advised Fund administered by the Community FoundaDon of Davie County. Income from the Endowment Fund may be disbursedannually and is supplemented by revenue generated from fund-‐raising by the Bermuda Run Garden Club. The Children’s Reading Fund and Pearls of Empowerment are two charitable projects which Bermuda Run Garden Club has chosen to focus on for 2015-‐16.The Children’s Reading Fund provides summer reading camps for Davie county elementary students whose reading skills are below grade level. The giX of reading can be life changing for these children. At a cost per child of $100, we hope to be able to increase parDcipaDon annually. In addiDon to our budgeted amount of $350, we will have a 50/50 raffle at meeDngs to raise extra funds for this Project. Pearls of Empowerment is a group of women contribuDng to programs which benefit women and children in the Davie community. This is the Garden Club’s fiXh year of membership in Pearls.

3. Davie County Schools Lunch Buddies ProgramThis project is a Davie County public schools program that is designed to provide a child with an adult friend. Garden Club volunteers go to Pinebrook Elementary School at least once a month or more to have lunch with their “special” buddy. Because we wanted to share our love of plants and flowers with the children, we added a gardening acDvity. Volunteers give their buddies gardening books wriben especially for children, such as the book, “From Seed to Plant.” These books describe the fascinaDng process of how plants grow. Even some of our Garden Club volunteers learn things they didn't know. There are two lunches during the year where the volunteers and their lunch buddies gather to enjoy lunch together as a group. At the end of the year, a lible planDng project is planned so the buddies can plant their own plants to take home and watch them grow over the summer. This is a most rewarding program for both Garden Club volunteers and their lunch buddies.

4. Davie County Senior Center Bouquets (Meals on Wheels)Four Dmes a year, Garden Club members meet to assemble fresh flower bouquets which are placed on the

lunch trays of all Meals on Wheels recipients in Davie County. The Project Chairwomen obtain and prepare the necessary supplies, including seasonal fabric and ribbon, to decorate the bouquets. A local grocery store helps by generously donaDng some of the flowers for the Project.

5. Dixie Classic FairTo encourage more gardening and designing of our backyard flowers, the Garden Club parDcipates annually in the Design, Container Plants, and HorDculture segments of the Dixie Classic Fair. To raise funds for our projects, members may also submit entries in a variety of compeDDons of their choice at the Fair.

14Projects Con/nued:

6. Geranium plant sale to promote community beauDficaDonThe Garden club conducts the sale of Geraniums in April to encourage community beauDficaDon. Profits from the sale help fund our various community projects. The Project Chairwomen make arrangements with a local nursery regarding the price and delivery date of the plants and oversee publicity for the sale. Garden Club members pre-‐sell the plants and provide all assistance for pick-‐up of the geraniums on the delivery date.

7. ConservaDon of our Natural Resources:As a service to our surrounding community, the Bermuda Run Garden Club conducts a shredding event each year in April and October. Documents are shredded on site by a mobile shredding truck in a safe and secure manner. The shredded material is then recycled into paper towels andnapkins. Proceeds go to various Davie County community programs that the Garden Club supports.

8. Hospice Golf and Tennis ClassicThe Garden Club creates approximately 28 floral table arrangements each year for the Hospice Golf and Tennis Classic awards dinner. This is an annual fund-‐raiser for the benefit of the Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home. A porDon of the proceeds are used to create and maintain a garden for the residents and their families.

9. Public Library of Davie CountyThe Garden Club makes an annual donaDon to the Davie County Public Library for the purchase of books on horDculture and floral design.

10. ExcepDonal Children Program of Davie County Public SchoolsIn November, the Garden Club provides a Thanksgiving Luncheon at the Bermuda Run Country Club for students and staff of the ExcepDonal Children Program of Davie County Public Schools. Members of the Garden Club provide seasonal table decoraDons for the event and arrange for musical entertainment for our guests. Garden Club members and staff from Bermuda Run Country Club assist in preparing and serving a tradiDonal Thanksgiving menu for the Luncheon. Last year, approximately 175 students and staff members abended the event, which is a highlight in the children's school year.

11. Storehouse for JesusGarden Club members bring canned goods and other food and household items to Club meeDngs that are held at the Bermuda Run Country Club for donaDon to A Storehouse for Jesus. The Garden Club also sponsors an annual “restock the shelves” food and fund drive each year at the Bermuda Run Post Office. In addiDon, the Bermuda Run Garden Club joins with the Bermuda Run Ladies Golf AssociaDon to host an annual luncheon at BRCC by providing centerpieces for each table. Proceeds from the Luncheon benefit the Storehouse for Jesus clients. Other services include providing meals for qualified families at Thanksgiving and Christmas and collecDng school supplies each fall for needy children.

12. Tanglewood RosesOur oldest project, which began more than 30 years ago, is helping with maintenance of the Rose Garden at

Tanglewood Park in Forsyth County. Each summer, along with volunteers from the Clemmons Garden Club, our members conDnue this tradiDon. We are pleased that the Advance Garden Club, which we helped establish in 2010, now also parDcipates in the project. Our members are divided into teams, on a rotaDng basis, to prune and deadhead over 300 rose bushes each week during the months of July and September.

TANGLEWOOD ROSE GARDEN SCHEDULE

Monday mornings during the months of July and September at 8:00am all Garden Club members prune and deadhead the roses at Tanglewood Rose Gardens. Bring clippers, gloves, and plas/c bags for disposal of clippings. If you are unable to work on your assigned day, trade with someone for another day or check with one of the “ Friends Emeritus” Members (page 12) who m ay be able to subs/tute. No/fy one of the project co-‐chairwomen (page 8) of the change in schedule. If you are unavailable to work at all, no/fy one of the project co-‐chairwomen (page 8) since she may need to subs/tute for you.

Tanglewood Park issues yearly passes to each member. They require that each Garden Club member give them the license plate number of the car the pass/s/cker is on. Co-‐Chairwoman, Fran Shelton, will collect these numbers and do the paperwork for you.
