| Highlights | We attended the OHA's Virtual AGM in July. A Nov Virtual meeting was needed to complete the Resolutions. It shows, a 3-day Convention, can't be squeezed into a 1-day Webex Meeting. Also, in July, we gathered at the Orrs' country estate for an outdoor picnic and to view their lovely water & flower gardens! In September, we visited Vandermeer Nursery in Ajax. Lynn Vandermeer gave us a tour of their Water Garden Plant Greenhouse. Since we no longer will be meeting at Banbury Community Centre, we are presently searching for a new location. | ||||||||
