Following the dinner, James Graham from the Ontario Horticultural Association conducted the election of offices for 2012.

Diane Ireland-Kelly was elected president, Willa Wick has accepted the secretary position and Rose Harris remains treasurer.

She won the Rhoda Cameron memorial award and gift certificate for the North Wellington Co-op for best design in the spring flower show, the Mildred Newman Memorial Award for the best design in the August flower show and the gift certificate from Steckles flowers and vegetables. The Golden Trowel award for the most points in all the shows was Cuculich as well.
