MCT Garden Club Luncheon and Farewell Party for Lynn Hughes

The MCT Garden Club recently had our annual summer luncheon at Fontina Grill. The luncheon included lunch, a gift swap, and a farewell to one of our members, Lynn Hughes, a Mill Creek Towne resident for 27 years, who is moving to Gettysburg, PA to be closer to family. Lynn has been in the club 25+ years serving as social chairperson, vice president, and 8 years as president! She has also hosted numerous meetings and celebrations in her home and beautiful backyard. On behalf of our garden club, Beth Gianone, President of Mill Creek Towne Garden Club, presented Lynn with some going away gifts as well as an honorary lifetime membership in the Mill Creek Towne Garden Club. We had a great attendance, with twenty-one members attending. We feel so fortunate to have two founding members, Emily Chiswell and Carol Hyland, in attendance. Our garden club was established in 1968 and we also salute Sandy Ceely and Linda Settlemyer, two very active members serving our club for 50 years! Everyone enjoyed the delicious lunch provided by Fontina Grill, the gift swap, and the chance to get together to socialize and celebrate the beginning of summer! Although it was bittersweet as we bid a longtime member farewell, we will miss Lynn but hope to see her when we have our field trips!

Spring Plant and Yard Sale Recap

Thanks to everyone who showed up and braved the rainy day to support us at our first Plant and Yard Sale yesterday! It was a successful fundraiser that helped us cover costs for our upcoming community garden-related events as well as for maintenance of the Mill Creek Towne entrances! Here are some pictures from our Spring Plant and Yard Sale.
