 Despite the winter like weather we had a great turn-out for the Annual Open House. Everyone enjoyed the new look, new art/crafts, door prizes, food and the best of all seeing friends who were out of town over the winter.

OPEN HOUSE at the Garden Gallery is Thursday May 23, 2013 from 5-8pm. Enjoy an evening of snacks and desserts while shopping.  Door prizes are donated by local artists.  Or you may be the lucky winner of a $50 gift certificate donated by the Gallery.

SPAGHETTI DINNER at the Garden Community Center is the same evening from 4-8pm. Get out and support  the Big Bay de Noc Girls Basketball Team and Cheerleaders. They will be serving spaghetti, salad, rolls and a beverage for $7.00.

Come on out and enjoy the evening with family and friends.

Our next gathering will be on April 25 at St. John's Hall, 5pm.
 
 I thought "Bring Spring" would be a hopeful theme.  Can you believe all the snow!!
 We're going to wish Spring into coming with our fun and healthy Spring dishes even though it looks more like a winter wonderland out there.  Maybe in two weeks most of the snow will have melted.
 
I hope you can join us for another evening of great food, friends and conversation.  If you would like to demonstrate or tell us about a special recipe, just let me know.  Demos always welcome!

Can't bring a dish this time? That's just fine, we'd enjoy your company and there's always enough to go around.  Bring friends and neighbors too. Hope to see you and if you can, please let me know if you'll be coming.  Ruth Craig, 644-3534.
