Garden Club Books
Due Next Meeting
Final revision of the copy for
the 1949-1950 yearbooks of the
Azalea Garden Club now is in the
hands of the printer, ready for
publication.
With the club's showing last
year with its yearbook, this year
will exceed that of the past for
the program is much more com
plete and well rounded.
The books this year will have
background printing of gray, de
picting scenes in the life of a
busy garden club member, and
the printing will be blue on white
paper. Last year the IxYok was
voted the “most outstanding” in
Oregon's entire federation.
The program chairman, Mrs.
Guy F. Rice, immediate past pres
ident, has spared no effort to
duplicate this feat. Mrs. Muick
has provided the pen sketches for
the background printing.
Mrs.
Bradley Page heads the club ac
tivities this year at the helm.
These books will be heady in
time for the Nocember 10 meet
ing of the club.
