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 some of our own talented Club members who will serve a delicious spread including two main dishes and several sides. Going back to previous traditions, we are asking members to bring an appetizer 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 (send checks to Mac Williamson at 1408 Lake Pine Dr. Cary, NC 27511). Non-members and guests pay $15 (in advance, only). 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 17th 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 legendary stampede and plant exchange. Don’t miss the long-awaited annual return of a magnificent classic! It's better than the swallows returning to Capistrano!
