The Garden Club was organized in 1974 and became a member of the Federation of Garden Clubs of America in 1975. In the beginning it was limited to 30 members. The Club met once a month with a business meeting and a program. Each member paid annual dues, as well as attending at least six meetings/programs per year, serving on committees, and hosting or co-hosting a monthly meeting. In addition the Club sponsored field trips for its memberships and participated with a float in the annual Memorial Day Parade, Service and Picnic.
In the early years the meetings were usually held in a member’s home. By the early 1990s, the meeting were held in the Community Church. The major fundraiser each year was creating crafts to hold at the Arts and Crafts Bazaar. Funds raised were directed at beautifying the Town’s public areas, especially at the entrance, around the Police Department, and the Bulletin Board in front of the Fire Station.
