The Maryborough Horticultural Society marked the end of a successful year with a potluck supper and annual meeting on Nov. 27 at the Optimist Hall in Moorefield.
As part of the annual meeting Dorelene Anderson, president of District 7 of the Ontario Horticultural Association (OHA), installed the executive of the Maryborough Horticultural Society for the 2013 year. She encouraged the Maryborough Society in its activities and invited members to consider attending the annual OHA Convention to be held in Thunder Bay in 2013.
Dorothy Noecker and Hannah Veld were thanked for their work as president and for their contributions as a member of the executive. Special appreciation was shown to Jean Dobben for the various positions she has held and activities she has been involved with as a member of the Maryborough Society. Dobben was presented with an orchid.
Members and other volunteers who planted and tended to the various flower beds in Moorefield and Rothsay were acknowledged. Each received a poinsettia in appreciation.
Veld thanked everyone for coming and the meeting was adjourned. The 2013 season will begin on the fourth Tuesday in February. New members are welcome to join.
