Date: October 19, 2010
Place: St. James’ Church
Time: 7:30pm
To celebrate our 40th. Birthday, we would like members and non-members alike, to help us stage our party showcasing the individual private gardens which make our community so special.
We ask you to submit 3 or 4 photographs of your garden, maybe a particular flower or flowering shrub, a window box arrangement, a water feature or any other appealing facet of your property which is special to you. These photos must be submitted by August 15. The Club will then organize a screen presentation of all photos.
This is not a contest – it is simply a celebration of our individual gardens of which we all have reason to be proud.
Digital photos can be sent to our e-mail address: hudsongardenclub@gmail.com. Regular photos can be mailed to the Club’s address: P.O.Box 573, Hudson, J0P1H0. You may also drop off Regular photos, in envelopes showing family name and street name at any of the monthly meetings including the August meeting. Come and see your very own “Bit Of Paradise” on the big screen on October 19.
