Letter from the Officers


Letter from the Officers
2020-21 Seabrook Island Garden Club
July 31, 2020                            

The March 13th meeting was to be the finale of our 2019-20 garden club season.  Little did we know that the Covid-19 pandemic would alter life as many of us have known it.  Regrettably, we were unable to meet in April, or gather for the end-of-year luncheon in May, or conclude the club’s business, or formally elect the incoming slate of officers in anticipation of the next season.

And yet, as the saying goes, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way” . . . so here we are.

On behalf of every club member, we thank last season’s officers and committees for working so diligently to bring us all together.  You may have presided over and facilitated the last traditional meeting of the Seabrook Island Garden Club, at least for the foreseeable future.

There are, no doubt, challenges ahead for most organizations endeavoring to continue in this environment; ours is no different.  Without clear insight into the end or outcome of this health crisis, our garden club must navigate some of the same obstacles as we reimagine our club.  The good news is that many of our members have already signed up for working committees, shared ideas, and shown enthusiastic support for our club to continue.

With that said, we want your—the membership’s—input.  We are considering a number of ways to structure, conduct, and move our club forward.  We know there are many concerns as to where, when, and how we gather.  We want to carry on in the most careful, considerate, and safe way we can.  It’s going to be different this year, but weyour officers and working committees—are committed to doing it.

Please take a moment to answer the survey.  We’re excited to receive your input.  Your response no later than August 10th  will be appreciated, but why wait?  Just click here, and off we go!


Our warm regards
Your 2020-21 Garden Club Officers

Dianne Thompson Cain, President
Karen Nuttall, Vice President
Jo Eisenhauer, Treasurer
Holli Bolte, Corresponding Secretary
