On December 11, twenty members of our club, decked out in the colors of the season, celebrated in style at our annual holiday luncheon. Hospitality Chairs Karen Frank and Karen deFriesse organized a great party. The tables were decorated with small holly arrangements, handmade gardener ornaments we could each take home, and homemade cookies for dessert. FGCCT 2nd Vice President Norma Jean Macauto (who is a club member) installed our officers for the 2025-2027 term: Joanne McKendry (President), Annie Casella (Vice-President), Pam Liming (Treasurer) and Dianne Mariano (Recording Secretary). The Club also surprised Joanne with the gift of a life membership in the Federated Garden Clubs of Connecticut, a well-deserved tribute for all Joanne’s dedication. Such a fund and festive event. Happy holidays!
