success and yielded over $450.
The summer house in the Sarah P.
Duke ^Memorial Garden was the scene
May 3 of our most unusual meeting:
a f^arden party to greet prospective
members. Ked tulips and blue dutch

duff, president-elect, were assisted by
all active members in welcoming the
guests.
Work is now underway on a
Statewide Auxiliary Symposium to be
