On March 2 more than 100 members all dressed in green attended our monthly meeting to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day (March 17). The Chianti Room was filled with green decorations, favors, beverages, and snacks. The 50/50 raffle drawing generated $95, which was paid to our club’s philanthropic “PC Pets Companion Club” and $47 each went to two lucky members. Our speaker this month was Holly Bryant of Arizona International Florist. She gave an explanation of flower arranging and the do’s and don’ts of fresh flower care, handling, and arranging. The extremely interesting program was followed by a raffle drawing for 10 flower arrangements to 10 lucky members.
Following the meeting, 22 hungry members traveled to the Irish Wolfhound restaurant in Surprise for an array of Irish cuisine and Irish bubbly. A great day was had by all.
