BULLETIN    

PRESIDENTS' MESSAGE:

March is right around the corner! Daylight savings time (March 8th), St. Patrick’s Day on the 17th and the first day of Spring is March 20th.

Our General Meeting on Monday, March 16th will be a Community Service Project-Succulent Planters and Book Drive for the San Francisco Veterans Hospital. Darlene Hartman is Chair of the event which will be held at the Clubhouse at 1:00 PM. The members are collecting books for the VA Hospital and will make succulent planters to distribute to the veterans. Succulents and many hands are needed to complete this project. Please come and join the fun!

The Forest Hill Association’s annual Lunar New Year Celebration festivities will be held at the Clubhouse and in the outside patio from 2:00 to 4:00 PM on Sunday March 8th. This year is the ‘Year of the Ram’. This is always a fun event held at the Clubhouse. Please plan to attend and enjoy the festive activities and great food.

A special thanks to Anna Bolechowski and Eva Monroe and their committee for our February General Meeting program – A Store to Remember - I Magnin & Co. The turnout for this event was amazing. The clubhouse was filled to capacity with garden club members and friends of Loma McNulty. The guest speaker James Thomas Mullane, author of A Store to Remember discussed and read some wonderful passages from the book and the members had an opportunity to look at the fabulous dresses, hats and gloves worn in that era. Special thanks to Yen Bachmeier, Nancy Hagosian, Donna Haynes, Loma McNulty, and Helen Scholten for bringing their I Magnin & Co. outfits for the members to peruse. Also, many thanks go to Cheryl Seckols for bringing her delightful wedding album for us to see. Loma McNulty was very charming and delightful in sharing some of her experiences when she worked in the bridal department at I Magnin. Quite some stories!
