Wheel of Garden Home History game

Garden Home History board members met for a July picnic at the historic WormWood Manor, hosted by Jan Fredrickson and Kevin Mistler, both on our Board of Directors. We tried out the new spinner and BINGO games about Garden Home History. Fun! Our board members sponsor and work our events, research history, change the history displays in the library hall, develop the displays in the new library display cupboard, write new material for children, monitor the old Garden Home Post Office safe at the Growlers and more! It’s a busy group.

Our Advisory Board advises in whatever area they wish and have some expertise in. They aren’t expected to attend the regular Board of Directors meetings, but contribute in their specific interest area. Like our webmaster, Tom Shreve! Give me a call if this sounds like fun to you! We work to support the activities in our community such as those at the Garden Home Recreation Center, the Garden Home Library, the Garden Home Gardeners, the business district, and continue to provide interesting programs to appreciate our history.
