February 2020 Issue

CPWC Members,

The official CPWC 50th anniversary is here! The Chtatahoochee Plantation Garden Club was formed in February 1970. We hope you will celebrate with us at the Anniversary Gala on February 8 (link).

There is so much to celebrate;
  • the women with vision & perseverance who created & sustained the club
  • the members, past and present, whose commitment to connecting to each other brings our community together
  • the example we all set by getting out from behind our screens and in the same room with one another
As we get ready to Celebrate 50 years, our 2020-2021 Nominating Committee is preparing to fill open board positions for year 50+1.  

Your suggestions for potential nominees are welcome and encouraged. If there is a board position you are interested in, or if you'd like to suggest another member for a position, please contact the nominating committee.

During this month in which we celebrate love, know that you are each loved and valued by the members of this community.

Happy Anniversary!
Belinda and Chris
CPWC Co-Presidents
