In a few short weeks, the Shady Ladies will travel to Gatlinburg for our state convention. “Springtime in the Smokies” is this year’s theme and the convention will feature lectures and workshops from experts in floral design and horticulture. This is a very special convention for Shady Oaks because our own Cindy Hintz is the president-elect for the Tennessee Federation of Garden Clubs! She will be installed as the new president at the convention. To celebrate, our club will be hosting a special dessert reception for her and we are donating centerpiece arrangements for the tables which will be sold as a fundraiser. The Shady Ladies have been working on these for months. Loretta and Anne unearthed granite remnants in the hot summer sun and today Nancy opened up her warehouse to host an assembly workshop. You can see a sneak preview in the photos.
