Fairfield Glade Garden Club Weather Policy:
On the morning of the meeting, if there is snow or ice on the roads or parking lot, it is the member’s choice – your choice – whether to come to the meeting or not. If you are uncomfortable with the conditions, don’t come out. It’s that simple. If the Leader Board decides to cancel the meeting, notification will be posted to this website (www.fggardenclub.com) and/or an email will be sent. Our priority will always be to keep our members safe.
