Sensory Garden Maintenance

Our club maintains the Sensory Garden at the Ann Eisemann Inclusive Playground. The garden was created as part of the club’s prior Strategic Plan that helped create and build the Inclusive Playground at Cottonwood Park in 2019.

There is a large stone plaque within the garden which highlights our efforts. The garden is called sensory…because all the plants within it are chosen to be non-poisonous and safe for touching and enjoyment.

Installation Banquet

On the 19th of June, 2024, we had the installation banquet to install the new board for 2024-2025. Michael Parmerlee is the incoming President and Laurie Garvie is the outgoing President. For a view of the photos from the banquet photoalbums/installation-banquet-2024-2025
