Committee & Garden Owners:
You are invited to come to the Autumn Splendor Tour Wrap-up meeting/party Friday, October 1, at 4 pm. at Madeleine’s house: 142 Bainbridge Road, West Hartford, CT 06119.
The weather looks good for a bonfire so she is planning to get through the agenda by 5 so we can light the fire and pop the champagne then.
Committee members please send Madeleine your reports as a document in an email by Thursday night so that she can add them to the agenda and final report.
If the weather is good, we will meet outside, so bring a chair with you. If the weather is bad, Peggy says that we can meet inside so then bring a mask. As usual, we can begin gathering at 10 am; but the actual meeting will begin at 10:30 am. There is plenty of parking along Peggy’s driveway.
