Forest Cove Garden Club

December 10th, Yvonne Stotts opened her beautiful decorated home to the Garden Club for the annual Christmas Party. Not only are these members excellent gardeners, they know their way around in the kitchen! Following a short business meeting and eating, the serious business began with the Chinese exchange. Just ask Joyce Mass how many times she drew a gift before she really had one of her own! Thank you again Yvonne for a beautiful party.
