A reminder to Club members or anyone on Pine Island, that when you renew your subscription to Florida Gardening Magazine or order a new subscription, make sure you put PIGC on the form. The Club will get $6 for every subscription and last year it was over $200. It must have PIGC in order for us to get the rebate.
Another thought is when you want to give a wonderful gift to someone that will last for a year, a subscription to the Magazine is perfect. It is a win, win situation. You can give a great gift to a fellow gardener and also earns $6 for the Garden Club.
In case anyone has sent in their subscription without letting them know that it is from Pine Island Garden Club, just give me a call and I will take care of it.
Thanks, Margie VanderKruik 283-4104
