Garden Mania - May 17-18, 2013

Picture
Committee Heads:  Elizabeth Kim, Wendy Fox and Lisa Bellinger

Advisors:  Leslye Fligor, Bhavna Tyagi, Sujata Somani, Linda Angelucci

Committee Members:   All club member participation

Goal:  This is our biggest Fundraiser for the Club.  Our goal is to sell out and hopefully overachieve what we did last year.

Background:  This year, Garden Mania is being run a bit different as we lost our senior Garden Mania committee head, Hazel Blyzinkskyj.  We've added a third person and have formed an informal Advisory board of senior club members who have run Garden Mania in the past.   We're truly drawing from the "wisdom of the group" and thus far, everyone has been fantastic about helping out and offering to help.


Description of work:  Working 1.5-2 hour shifts manning Gardenmania, help putting plants out, plant selection, set-up and clean up.

Schedule:  .
Thursday and Saturday, May 16 - 18 ........................ 9am-1pm
    GardenMania at the Josiah Smith Tavern
