ANNOUNCEMENTS: Margaret Warren
We have two resignations: Libby Lanier and Margaret Hatcher. We are sorry to lose those members, and wish them well.
It is with immense sadness that I must report we lost two members since our last meeting:
* Betty Mitchell Bowring, loving mother of Lisa Hinson and Sanford Dunklin, passed away on Saturday, April 1st. Mimosa has made a donation in Betty’s memory to the Historic Oakland Foundation. Our hearts and prayers go out to Lisa, Sanford and their families.
* The following day, Sunday, April 2nd, our dear Julie Harlan passed away. Our Mimosa family grieves with her mother, Tee Davis and family, Julie’s husband Chad and their two boys. Mimosa has made a donation to Agape Youth and Family Center in Julie’s memory.
Good news…. The Atlanta Botanical Garden will host its inaugural flower show in 2018. All of the information on the flower show will also be posted on our website.
