Champion Tree Clinic - Mr. Lagin was not at the meeting so there was no update of his
items. The revised invitation list was distributed. Ms. Bennett is doing the flyer and

Club about refreshments for our event. The matter will be brought up at their next
meeting for approval. Ms Bennett will put the flyer together and email it to the Board
Secretary. All members offered assistance if needed.
Ms. Bennett left the meeting at 7:00pm.
Ms. Cummings sent a letter to Publix corporate office for donations/refreshments. She's
also going to contact Winn Dixie if the Garden Club can't do refreshments. The Board
