8.  A brief club history:   The Garden Club was started in 1941 and was originally a men’s garden club. As the men left to go to war their wives started to take over the responsibilities of the club. In 1949 it was reorganized and federated.

Years ago one had to be sponsored to become a member and there was quite a waiting list. Looking back in our scrapbooks the women were all called by their husband’s name as in Mrs. William Smith, etc.

In 2011 the club voted to withdraw from the State and  National Federation of Garden Clubs and we are now considered a private non-profit organization with over 100 members.
