There was a flurry of activity and animated energy going on at the club's monthly meeting last week. A successful White Elephant sale was held prior to the meeting to generate seed money for the Festival of Trees (Dec. 2-4 and 10-11).

Guests from the community and district clubs joined the function and took part in the savory reception table and enjoyed the program "Decorating our Homes for the Holidays." Creative members shared their favorite way to decorate a mantle, window box, door or wall, while other groups displayed traditional, festive and glitzy table for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year 's Eve.

Pat McMurry reported that five members planted 1,780 bulbs around the armillary at Boothbay Center's Memorial Park. This will be a show stopper come spring! The Boothbay Civic Association has generously donated funds for maintenance and landscaping in the spring.

The Festival of Trees is moving along at a fast clip with members working on items for the "Deck the Halls" sale tables. Some are working at home while others join the workshop group on Fridays at Karen Curtis' home from 9 a.m. on.

Window boxes at public buildings should be retrieved and kept until spring. Garden Therapy will make tray favors for veterans at Togus during the wreath-making session at the Opera House on Thursday, Dec. 8 at 10 a.m. Soups will be served after work is completed. Tops of any color from spray cans are needed for favor containers.
