SUMMARY:Horticulture Flower Show
DESCRIPTION:Susie Cochran\, our Flower Show Chair\, and her crew have planned a simple horticulture and design show that will let all of you shine!  Don’t be shy!  We want this to be fun!  Everyone has at least one plant that they take particular pride in!  Go for it! \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt’s easy!  For design you can:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n1) Make a Thanksgiving table arrangement meant to be viewed from two sides\, and/or \n\n2) Make a Christmas flower arrangement meant to be viewed from one side only. \n\nThe only limitation is that the arrangements must be composed of plant material\, nothing artificial.  If it comes from a plant\, you can use it!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor horticulture\, you can bring any of the following:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n1) Cuttings from one or more plants in your yard (shrub\, tree\, annual or perennial) that are healthy and attractive. This can be a flower\, leaves or branches (no longer than 30 inches).  Just go out into your yard Thursday afternoon or evening and take cuttings of your favorite plants\, place them in water and hold them overnight in a cool area of your house to acclimate them. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2) Container grown/potted plants that you have owned and cared for for two months or more.  This can be any healthy\, attractive potted plant or hanging basket –  foliage\, flowering\, or succulent plants. The only limitation is that it must be small enough to be lifted easily by the show volunteers.  (Less than 20 pounds) Please do not bring big heavy floor plants.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBring your plants to the Pavilion at Dallas White Park between 8:00 and 9:00 Friday morning.  There will be volunteers to help you identify your plant by its botanical name.  Placings and ribbons will be available when you arrive for our 1:00 general membership meeting.\n\n\nRegular meeting begins at 1:00pm.

Mail check and indicate meal selection to: \nChristine Glenn\n5112 Pine Shadow Lane\nNorth Port\, FL  34287\n  \nWhat’s a Yankee Gift Swap? – also called “Dirty Santa” \nSuitable for small to large groups\, adds an element of excitement and humor to traditional gift giving. \nIn a Yankee Swap\, each participant brings a wrapped\, unmarked gift and places it in a designated area. Guests are given numbers as they arrive\, or their names are randomly drawn\, and they select and unwrap gifts from the pile in that order — with a twist. \nThe person who receives the number 1 will pick a gift (that is not their own) from the pile and open it for all to see (or models it\, reads it\, or demos it). During the selection of a wrapped gift\, the participant may visually inspect the gifts\, pick them up and/or gently shake them. \nThe person who receives number 2 then chooses a gift and opens it\, and then must decide whether to keep it or swap it for the first player’s gift. Each person in order then gets to select a present\, open it and decide whether to keep it or swap it for any other gift someone has already opened. \nOpening of gifts and swapping takes place until all the presents have been chosen. Finally\, the person who picked first gets to choose from all the gifts or keep what he/she has already received. In the end\, the gift you are holding is the gift you take home. \nBecause all the gifts are wrapped or in gift bags\, you don’t get people taking the most obvious best gift or leaving the least desirable for last. It also adds an element of surprise! Most of the fun happens as people “steal” gifts from each other! \n  \n
