Highlights

Our group planted and maintained our Community Vegetable Garden, for the 2nd year that was very successful...

We all enjoyed a road trip to Whistling Gardens to be in awe of the many varieties of peonies, enjoy the visual water fountains put to music... beautiful...

We hosted a Christmas Turkey Dinner Social for all members to enjoy, as we supported our Legion... enjoyed a Penny Table for a chance at a gift of choice from the table...

Everyone crafted a Dinner table centrepiece with real evergreens, and babbles, bows etc...Very well received

Youth Club Report

We hold 5 meetings, starting in May and finishing up November... July and August off

Each meeting has something to do with gardening and/or garden decor

The children do crafts that can be entered into the Dorchester Fair in October
Many have won ribbons

Our committee get together every January to decide what to do each year

We don't have officers - no elections ... just fun and crafts

Youth Club Comments

There is so much to teach these children and they are keen on learning...

Realizing where some of their food comes from

As well as making new friends and learning to help each other, work together and use their imaginations...
