On August 18, The Friendly Garden Club held its final meeting for this season. The 15 members attending had an opportunity to discuss their garden woes and triumphs. Many noted that the skunks are causing a significant amount of ground movement in yards and gardens. Those, along with the raccoons, have caused quite a stink this year.
New officers were elected: President – Deborah Banish; Vice-President – Rachelle Marquette; Secretary/Treasurer – Kathy Wyum; Program/Posters and Publicity – Kathy Wyum, Deborah Banish, MaryBeth Anderson; Auction Committee – Ann Erickson, Bev Kulzer, MaryAnn Thornberg, JoAnn Harris and Yvonne Johnson.
The Garden Club will resume meetings next September with the goal to have more hands on projects and lessons. “Road trip” lessons were also something that members requested for next year. The incoming officers now have a challenge that they hope to meet!
A rolling pin is a cylindrical food preparation utensil used to shape and flatten dough. Oh, how so many Rutland women know the best use of a rolling pin (other than as a weapon!) is to roll out the lefse. UffDa Day is only sixty days away! So little time and so much to do. This will be the 24th Annual Rutland Uff Da Day. It’s time to get rolling. We will be called again to help to make nearly the 4,000 lefse (along with all the other goodies). Committee Chairs are getting calls to help get the ball rolling. It’s time to rally the troops and get together for some fun while we work toward another community event. (According to some cookbooks, heavy wooden roller type rolling pins are best used on kitchen helpers when frustrated, and not on dough. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to this!)
