The Club awards a scholarship annually to a local high school graduate or college student who is majoring in a science, agriculture, or landscape field.
At the Club's regular monthly meeting in June, Angela Raitano and Mary Jane Martucci led club members in a floral design workshop. The program "Choices" was intended to aid members in choosing plant material and components for creative designs to be entered in the Club's upcoming flower show, titled "Red, White and Bloom" and to be held Thursday, July 10 at the Monessen Public Library. The show will feature horticulture specimens grown by Club members and 36 floral designs. It will be open to the public from 1 – 6 p.m. with free admission. Refreshments will be served.
Hostesses for the June meeting were Janice Yeaton and Eileen Willey. The raffle item was a yellow calla lily donated by Evelyn Parent and won by Flo Fagan.
