What's Happening in May at the GWC
|
May is a special month for the GWC because May’s when our Club’s Annual Picnic and Plant Exchange occurs. It’s a custom that harkens back to our organization’s very beginnings. This year the event will be catered by Pam’s Farmhouse Restaurant who will serve a delicious spread including two main dishes and several sides. Going back to previous traditions, we suggest members bring an appetizer or dessert to share. The doors open about 6:00 PM for schmoozing and socializing with dinner served around 6:30-ish. The cost is a bargain at 10 dollars per member and must be paid IN ADVANCE and BEFORE May 14th (pay ONLINE or send checks to Club Treasurer, Shay Campbell at 2717 Blaydon Drive, Raleigh, NC 27606.). Remember, there are NO ticket sales at the door. This year’s event is scheduled on the traditional third Tuesday of the month—that’s May 21st at the beautiful home of Mark and Joanne Boone located in Raleigh at 4401 Dewees Court (click for a map). As always, the evening wraps up with the justly famed stampede and plant exchange. Don’t miss the long-awaited annual return of a magnificent classic!
