The Federated Garden club of Connecticut held its ninety-fifty awards luncheon on October 16 2024 where our club was given five awards.

The team members for this project were: Chairman Teri Doern, Jane Vouros, Mary Ellen Weiner, Denise Rod, Chris Lincoln, Mae Grant, Gail Diminico and Josie Schmidt.

Teri has assumed many leadership roles in our club including current treasurer, past civic chairman, captain of Island 1, second vice president, and for the last two years chairman of the scarecrow project at Fairfield Hills.

Chris Lincoln accepted this award for Barbara O’Connor, Margareta Kotch, Peggy Townsend, and Arline Shanley.

The award was given for the 4 members who stepped forward to mentor new members and reinforce good design princilpes by holding design workshops. The first workshop was for club members and the second was open to the public.

 Thanks to her guidance and reminders,   members became involved in invasive plant   removal, spring clean-up, gardening   assistance for the elderly, scarecrow contest,   and the Lions Club Lose the Litter on Earth   Day. She also encouraged members to learn   more about town environmental issues.

 Over the past six decades Chuck   has been an invaluable supporter   and friend to our club. From the very   beginning Chuck, along with   Barbara O'Connor - a founding   member of our club -, played a   crucial role in shaping our   organization.
