Kelby board forms four-member garden club committee; first meeting set for Saturday
Loading...
Summary
The Kelby board voted to create a four-member Garden Club committee to oversee monthly garden activities and programs; the group will hold its first meeting Saturday with board members assigned to lead initial months and partner organizations invited to offer classes.
The Kelby board voted to create a Garden Club committee and set the inaugural meeting for this Saturday, members said.
Board members agreed the committee should start with a core of four board members to ensure consistency, with the option to add one or two club members later. "We need a committee that is willing to take that initiative," one member said, outlining a committee structure of roughly four core members and two rotating club participants. Board members volunteered to lead specific months; JJ Flores said he would lead January, and others volunteered for later months.
Members discussed logistics for monthly activities, including location (garden beds on-site and possible school partnerships), and ideas for partner presentations by groups such as junior master gardener programs and beekeepers. Volunteers were encouraged to sign up for months that fit their availability; organizers said participants could attend meetings as learners without serving as volunteers.
The motion to form the committee was made and seconded during the meeting and acknowledged by the assembly. Staff and board members said they would circulate a month-by-month calendar and a sign-up list ahead of the first meeting.
Next steps: staff will circulate the month calendar and a list of volunteers; the committee will meet and return a calendar for the board to maintain continuity and plan partner-led classes.
