What's Happening in December at the GWC

In most month's our Club meets at the JC Raulston Arboretum, but December isn’t most months. It’s the time when the GWC presents important awards for service to the Club, the Community, and to some deserving North Carolina gardens and gardeners. This year our annual Christmas Banquet and Awards Ceremony will be held at the NCSU University Club on Tuesday, December 12th. An open (cash) bar and socializing begin around 6:00. The Banquet commences at 7:00. The price for members is $20.00 each for the first two. Additional guests and non-members must pay what the Banquet actually costs—$45.00 each. If you haven’t made and paid for a reservation already, contact and send your check immediately to Charlie Leverett at 4202 Page Road, Morrisville, NC 27560. There are NO ticket sales at the door and December 5th is the LAST day payment can be accepted! Don’t get left out shivering in the snow, staring morosely at the feast through the frosty windows!

Not a member? Not to worry! The GWC's got you covered. First off, you're always welcome to attend our presentations as a guest. Even better, you're always welcome to become a member. If you love gardens and gardening in the Carolinas (and hanging around with others who feel the same way) why not join us! We'd love to have you! A handy online membership application awaits you right here!

An All-hands Call for Volunteers!

As we start to plan for 2024, please think about how you might become more involved in our Club. A list of Club committees is in the membership directory as well as in each edition of the Clod-Hopper. Please let Tom Packer know of positions you'd be willing to help with, or send the Club an email at GardenersofWakeCountyNC@gmail.com to indicate your interest. You will be personally rewarded by getting to know more fellow members and achieving a sense of accomplishment by supporting the Club.

It's Time to Renew Your Membership!

Our lives are filled with so many wonderful blessings, and December is a time we celebrate them. One of those blessings is being a member of the GWC! Now’s the time to renew those memberships! Becoming and maintaining GWC membership is not only easy, it’s a bargain! The easy part is that all existing members need to do is bring a check for $30 (individual membership) or $45 (family membership) to the November 28th meeting, hand it over to our always-happy-to-take-your-money Treasurer, Charlie Leverett, and presto-chango, you’re in! Even if you’re not a member but want to become one, it’s still easy. Just like existing members, all you have to do is fill out the online membership application (available here) and bring a check for $30 (individual membership) or $45 (family membership) to the November 28th meeting or send it to, you guessed it, our handsome, fairly honest Treasurer, Charlie Leverett, at 4204 Page Road, Morrisville, NC 27560.
