November 2011 Members Attend District II Convention in Nocona
On November 1, nine GGC members journeyed to Nocona for the bi-annual District II convention. They were welcomed by cowboys on horses, since the theme was the Chisholm Trail. Members visited with members of other clubs in our district. A silent auction offered members chances to win a decorated cowboy hat along with door prizes. Members enjoyed lunch and presentation by a guest speaker. Our GGC president received national gardening awards for our club from the District II Director, one for our West Texas Street project and the other for our participation in the Plant It Pink in support of breast cancer awareness. Our greenhouse project chairman shared information about the Spring Texas Garden Club Convention to be hosted by the GGC and the Grapevine Botanical Gardens Greenhouse Project.
