Welcome to the Council of Rockford Gardeners…
Our Four Clubs
Our Motto – “Enjoy nature’s bounty and beauty through work and creativity”
CRG Members Hope all of you survived the recent cold weather. It’s funny how 20° is now considered warm weather. There is no CRG Newsletter this month, so here are a few things for all of you. First, on Monday, March 2nd CRG will be hosting its annual Installation of Officers / Scholarship Award Luncheon at Tavern On Clark at 11:30am. This is open to all CRG members and guests. It would be great if you could join us. Please, RSVP to Arch Smith: racs71@yahoo.com
Secondly, if anyone has any items, they wish to be considered for posting on our CRG website, please submit it to Andrew Quintanilla, contact information listed below. Andrew has taken over the CRG Website managers position after Kathy Batzkall’s many years at the helm. A big thank you to Kathy for her years of dedication. Club Leaders, please submit your event calendars and membership directories for our members only section. Photos of your meetings and activities are greatly encouraged.
Also, any CRG member is in need of a bit of “sunshine” please send your request to Cindy Rittenhouse. Cindy’s contact information is listed below as well. She has been spreading sunshine on behalf of CRG for quite some time. Cindy’s efforts are always appreciated. On a sad note, long time CRG member Mariann Reilly’s husband Bill has passed away. Bill was a wonderful guy and will be missed greatly.
Finally, if any CRG member would like to become more involved in the operations of CRG, please contact me, Arch Smith, directly: (racs71@yahoo.com). There may be a Council position in need of your talents. All positions are fairly easy to do and don’t require much time to perform. The Council meets just once a month for a breakfast meeting usually held at Mary’s Market on east State, the first Monday of each month. The meeting is usually 2 hours and are ALWAYS open to any CRG member to attend.
We appreciate you for taking the time to explore the Council of Rockford Gardeners website. Feel free to check out all the various sections. You are invited to come to any club meeting (both a.m. and p.m. clubs available) to see what we are all about.
Thanks,
Arch Smith, Council President
