Please come early to the meeting this Saturday for the social time from 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Visit with new and old friends, buy raffle tickets and partake of some special items from the Ways and Means table to purchase and take home. Here’s all the news so far for this year. Updated Bylaws Need Members’ Approval Our bylaws as of September 14, 2013 state that the bylaws must be reviewed at least every two years. A Put the caption for your photo here. committee made up of: Jan Colpitts (chair), Laura Allegre, Helen Muterspaugh, Jo Ellen Raymaker, Barbara Shoaf and Peg Tillery has been working on the amended bylaws for the last several months. The completed amended bylaws were presented to the PGC Board at the January 6 Board Meeting and approved. Please check your inboxes to read the new bylaws sent out this afternoon. Try really hard to read through the 7 pages and also the 4 page synopsis. We will be voting on these amended bylaws at this Saturday January 10 general membership meeting of the PGC. Plant Sale and/or Garden Tour Fundraiser Denise Vestman volunteered to oversee the 2015 Plant Sale location but she needs lots of helpers for other positions to fill and for gathering up plants now and through Jan through March. In addition, she’s hoping the PGC can launch the first Poulsbo Garden Tour this year. But – we need lots of volunteers for both fundraisers. And we do mean LOTS! Please express your interest in either of these endeavors at Saturday’s meeting. Look for the sign-up sheets on the membership table and we’ll also be passing the sign-up sheets around during the meeting.
