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.
Our meetings are open to the public on the 3rd Wednesday of each month with the exceptions of May and October, for member only events, and December when we do not meet.
We gather at 9:00 am for a social time and then a short business meeting begins at 9:30. Following the meeting, until around 11:00 am, we feature a speaker on a wide range of subjects. Please see the list to the right for a sampling of topics.
Please join us for a meeting or two before you decide to join. Our annual dues are $15.
