LAKEPORT – This is the third year Clear Lake Trowel & Trellis Garden Club members have remembered people who receive Meals on Wheels with “goodie bags” filled with candy/cookies and Valentine’s Day cards (many are handmade).
Members held a workshop at Chairman Claire Grieve’s home to put the bags together, and then afterwards enjoyed visiting while having coffee and a dessert.
June Beto delivered 50 bags to the Lucerne Alpine Senior Center and Jo Douville delivered 150 bags to the Lakeport Senior Center. Cards were also made to give to the drivers. Then Meals on Wheels drivers will deliver the bags when delivering the meals.
The club meets at 12:00noon on the third Tuesday of the month at the Scotts Valley Women's Club House, 2298 Hendricks Road, Lakeport.
Members, guests, and all interested are most welcome. President Jo Jameson, 707-263-4039, invites interested gardeners to join us.
Clear Lake Trowel & Trellis Garden Club is a member of Mendo-Lake District, Calif. Garden Club, Inc., Pacific Region, & National Garden Clubs Inc.
