Secretary Susan Meriweather and treasurer Debbie Carr gave their reports and they were approved as read.

Vice president Marjorie Clifford and Jodi Kirkpatrick gave a report on the Fall Regional Meeting held at Caesar’s Creek State Park.

The program books for the coming year were passed out to members.

A report was given on those members who were unable to attend the meeting, and cards were signed to be sent to each one.

The horticultural tip was given by president Pam on container gardening. This is a good way for gardeners to grow plants and they are easily taken care of.

Favors of miniature buckets were filled with mints to be given to everyone attending the meeting. There was also a table with donuts, cookies, assorted mints and punch that was served to all attending.
