Garden Club spreads cheer at NHC

| |
In keeping with holiday tradition, the McMinnville Garden Club gathered up their tools and supplies on December 4 and headed over to NHC Healthcare to assemble Christmas corsages for the residents.

Each year the members arrive early and put together from ?scratch? enough corsages and boutonnieres for the residents to wear to their annual Christmas gathering. They and their families are treated to a candlelight dinner and entertainment.

The efforts add joy to the hearts of club members as well as the residents. NHC representative Fay Braxton was very helpful and cooperative with the club in arranging a time to work and providing fresh coffee.

In November the club enjoyed a Thanksgiving lunch at the Patch House in Manchester, where they had their regular meeting. The next meeting of the McMinnville Garden Club will be February 13. Billie Hitchcock will give a presentation on her experiences while visiting Peru.

The club meets the second Tuesday of each month and encourages anyone interested in joining the fun to contact Helen Elkins at 931-473-3641; Melba Hale at 931-668-8074 or Dianne Martin at 931-668-5563.
