Come join District IX for a fun day of visiting the Nursery & buying new plants.
Bring your brown bag lunch to enjoy in the Gazebo on the Island.

Presidents, please contact your members and let me know by September 6, 2009 how many will be attending from your Clubs or Circles. I need only members name and Club or Circle name, no SS# required for your admittance to Avon Park. This list will be at the Front Gate so you will be admitted.  The Officer at the Front Gate will give you directions to parking and the Nursery. 

Please send this list to Patricia Shira, 2179 Longleaf Circle, Lakeland, FL 33810-8251 or email to dshira@tampabay.rr.com. I hope many of you will attend so we can continue to support this great program. 

Transportation from the parking lot to the nursery will be provided for those who need it.

Please come and help District IX and FFGC to continue this very worthwhile program with your purchases.

Thank you
