In-Person Meetings Postponed!!
Out of an abundance of caution and concern for the well-being of our members, we have decided to postpone our in-person meetings until conditions allow.
We will schedule meetings in an on-line format as we are able.
The weather is beautiful, so go out in your garden and give your roses some love -- they'll be sure to love you back!

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HAD A TETANUS BOOSTER?
A Tetanus Booster should be scheduled preferably every 5 years or at the most every 10 years.
While working in the soil or with any puncture wound you could contract a life-threatening bacteria.
So, schedule yourself for a booster and be safe!
