Hi, Gardeners!
Welcome back from your summer vacations/retreats! Our 1st meeting of this autumn season is next Thursday, Sept 21, 9:00am at Fishers of Men Lutheran Church. Please bring plants for the Plant Table, money to buy tickets for Plant Table as well as money to purchase goodies from the Ways and Means table (shirts, hats, visors, etc). Don't forget to bring money (check for $68 made out to PIGC) for the Nov 3 field trip & lunch for Selby Gardens in Sarasota).  We look forward to seeing everyone after the long summer and look forward to getting started on our projects and field trips for the upcoming season. Hope you all can be present!  Remember: 9:00 am for refreshments and reconnections, then 9:30am for the meeting with Board Meeting following.
Cheers! See y'all soon!

All member information is on our Members page or contact internet@pineislandgardenclub.org 
The assignment committee is meeting next week to finalize all committee assignments. Once done, info is then passed on to Victoria for the yearbook; therefore, if dues for 2023-24 have NOT been paid or if I haven't been notified to the contrary, those that have not renewed, will not be included in the 2023-24 yearbook. So, please, if you intend to renew and haven't yet, please contact me to advise me of your wishes. If you do NOT intend to renew, I would appreciate notification of that also. Thank you, Alice Trant

What a fantastic turnout for our March meeting! We had 54 members (that included the following 7 NEW members) attending and 10 Guests! Wow! Robert Ballard gave an interesting and informative talk about "Early Ranching on Pine Island" and the Tea Committee presented us with a delicious array of yummies with a St Patty's Day flair! Thanks to everyone involved.
