Next Meeting Feb 18th
Calling All NWIHS Members!
Great Lakes Hosta College is looking for donations for its auction at the 2024 Hosta College this coming March. They need plants of any kind, or any garden-related items such as Garden Art, Books, you name it. Anything you want to donate will be appreciated.
If you are not planning to attend Hosta College in Piqua, Ohio, March 15-16, Cindy Brito will personally arrange to have your donations picked up to take to the College. Our Hosta College President said that now is a good time to dig up any plants and put them in a sunny window so they will green up in time for auction.
If you have anything to donate please email:
Cindy Brito
Hosta College Representative
or call Cindy at: 219-923-7227
IT’S THAT WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR WHEN THE HOLIDAYS ARE OVER AND WE CAN RELAX BEFORE THE GARDENING SEASON BEGINS AND WHAT ELSE?
IT IS DUES TIME!!
YES, WE HAVE NOT HAD DUES FOR A FEW YEARS NOW, BUT IN 2024 WE ARE AGAIN COLLECTING DUES FOR OUR CLUB
DUES WILL REMAIN AT $20 PER FAMILY
WE WILL BE COLLECTING DUES DURING THE MONTH OF JANUARY WHICH INCLUDES A FULL YEAR OF MEMBERSHIP. YOU ALSO CAN BRING A CHECK TO THE FEBRUARY MEETING
(PLEASE DO NOT BRING CASH FOR DUES)
PLEASE WRITE A CHECK FOR $20.00
MAKE IT OUT TO: NWIHS AND MAIL IT TO:
Cindy Brito
8938 Liable Road
Highland, IN 46322
ALSO, WE HOPE TO HAVE A SURPRISE READY AT THE UPCOMING FEBRUARY MEETING!
AN ANONYMOUS DONOR HAS PURCHASED A CREDIT CARD READER FOR THE CLUB, AND WE ARE GOING TO TRY PAYING DUES BY CREDIT CARD. IF YOU WANT TO TRY IT, BRING YOUR CREDIT CARD INSTEAD OF A CHECK
THE WAY IT WORKS IS YOU SCAN YOUR CREDIT CARD INTO THE READER, AND THE MONEY GETS DEPOSITED TO OUR CLUB BANK ACCOUNT. YOU MIGHT HAVE USED CARD READERS LIKE THAT AT CRAFT SHOWS. MAYBE EVEN AT GARAGE SALES. IF IT WORKS OUT FOR OUR CLUB, WE CAN ALSO USE THE CARD READER AT OUR SUMMER PLANT SALE AND AUCTION. MAYBE WE WILL SELL MORE PLANTS IF PEOPLE CAN USE THEIR CREDIT CARD TO PAY.
LAST YEAR AT THE GREAT LAKES HOSTA COLLEGE WE USED CARD READERS AND MOST OF THE ATTENDEES PREFERRED THAT PAYMENT FORMAT!
SEE YOU AT THE FEBRUARY 18TH MEETING!
