EGC Hosted 2023 St. Croix District Annual Meeting
Phelps and Toni welcomed the St. Croix District Members to MMP
Dear Kathie and Joan and Members of the Evergreen Garden Club,
It has been my good fortune to work with you over the past several months --via zoom, phone calls, emails and in person – in planning of the 2023 St Croix District Annual Meeting.
May 25, 2023, was memorable on many levels.
On behalf of the District, I send sincere and deeply felt thanks for a spectacular day.
Registered District members and guests were greeted by Evergreen Club Members and given name tags. Walking into the reception hall one saw thoughtfully set tables and floral arrangements. A welcoming refreshment table – coffee, tea, waters and sweets. Members of the Club engaged attendees in conversations… the room was abuzz..
Busy in the kitchen was the Mariner’s Soar! Team preparing lunch for the attendees.
The hall looked so, so lovely.
The agenda fell in place and the Speaker, Abigail Barrows, had attendees intellectually focused on micro-plastics. Everyone left with messages for their friends, family members and fellow gardeners.
Lunch was out of this world – served by confident Mariner’s Soar! 7thand 8th graders - Popovers for everyone!! A salad decorated with flower petals from plants the students grew in their school’s greenhouse. A to-die-for fish chowder and a vegetarian chili. And, oh, yes! ---lunch was capped off with tiramisu whoopie pies made by the Deer Isle Town Clerk. A true multi-generational community effort.
Then the fun…drawing of numbers for raffle prizes and door prizes.
After lunch, a visit to Mariner’s Memorial Park. The Park is a 23 acre parcel owned and maintained with much love and dedication by the Evergreen Garden Club members and members of the Deer Isle fishing community.
We as members of the St Croix District are so, so impressed with your work and dedication. We are appreciative that you shared your part of this planet with us.
We hope to see you again soon and do hope you will come and visit any of us whenever the spirit moves you.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Phyllis Mobraaten
