Mimosa receives emails each month from organizations such as the Atlanta Botanical Garden, Garden Club of Georgia, etc., asking us to pass information to our members. Please let me know if you have an opinion or comment on this issue.
The hostesses need an accurate RSVP count each month to provide adequate seating and lunches. When you RSVP “yes” to the invitation, please click on “Send a Private Note” and say “Yes, I’m staying for lunch” or “No, I can’t stay”.
Also, please RSVP at least a week before the meeting date to allow the hostesses time to plan. If your plans change, please go back to the invitation and change your RSVP.
