Attending were Mary Barber, Joanne Claytor, Kitty Company, Gayle Davis, Sherry Huff, Kay Jenney, Starr Kessler, Charlene Kuhn, Barb Lantz, Debbie Sallee and Myra Snider. The program for the monthly meeting was a plant exchange. Each had brought divisions of various plants in her garden. Among them were sweet woodruff, sedum, sweet autumn clematis, shasta daisy, anemone, hosta, windflower, coral bells, iris and painted arum. Members chose the plants they desired to plant in their own gardens.
