| SUN CITY CORE COURIER | NOVEMBER 2024 | 13 e Garden Club is Ready to Meet You The next meeting of the Garden Club is Tues., Nov. 19 at 10 am. Sign in, enjoy refreshments, see our plant table (members bring cuttings and plants for sale), view the Treasure Table (donated items are raffled), and visit with other members. Each meeting participant also receives a raffle ticket for door prizes. Meetings are always the third Tuesday of every month, from September to June. Although we don't meet in July and August, we're busily planning our September to June year. We have many activities planned, including another local botanical garden, a beekeeper, and Master Gardener. We will also be learning about the benefits of earthworms, water-wise gardening, and much more. Come join the fun and learn all you can to create a garden oasis in our desert community. Our home tour is planned for April 2025, so don't miss out seeing what some of our members have planted and done to enhance their individual landscapes. There are so many gorgeous yards that are drought tolerant that provide many benefits. Call us if you'd like to join the tour! Did you know that earthworms help breakdown your fresh food scraps and paper towels as well as improve water filtration and soil aeration? Their castings are a very valuable type of fertilizer. Earthworms are usually an indicator of a healthy garden! We're all about teaching, learning, and working together to make our individual spaces at home as much a paradise as possible. With drought-tolerant landscaping (not just cactus!), a yard can be transformed while using very little water. Come join our President Jennifer Lopez, co-Vice Presidents Jill Hardy and Valerie Gibson, and Treasurer Camille Susca to learn about the fun things we can do to beautify our surroundings. ~ Jill Hardy Garden Club WOODSHOP CLASSES STARTING SOON: Have you ever thought about wanting to learn to do woodworking? Do you remember how much you enjoyed that high school woodshop class and haven't had the opportunity to practice what you learned back then? It is never too late to learn how to make something out of wood or even refresh those woodworking skills you once learned. Stop by the Woodshop and meet one of our Monitors who would be more than happy to give you a tour of the shop and will answer any questions you might have. The Woodshop is in the process of getting dates lined up and approved for a variety of classes that may be of interest to you. Come in and add your name and phone number to any of the sign-up sheets for each of the classes that we will be offering. You will be contacted as soon as a class date is available. Planned classes are Beginner Woodworking, Scroll Saw, Cutting Board, Lathe Turning, and Sign Making. Stop by the Woodshop, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 am to 2 pm and Saturday, from 8:30 am to 12 pm. WILL YOU BE THE NEXT RAFFLE WINNER? Stop by the Woodshop to view the November raffle item. It is a wall shelf that was made with pine wood(photo inset). This shelf measures 31" high x 18.5" wide s 6.5" deep. Thank you goes out to Woodshop member Jim Fritz for making and donating this wall shelf. The winning raffle ticket will be drawn on Wed., Nov. 27 at 12:30 pm. Stop by the Woodshop, Monday throughFriday between the hours of 9 am and 2 pm to purchase that winning raffle ticket. Tickets are priced at two tickets for $5 or five tickets for $10.
