Recording Secretary - Dot Belding, Corresponding Secretary - Jane Ashland, Treasurer
- Beth Johnson.
As outgoing president as well as next year's president, Judy Poit recapped highlights of the
year's reign and expressed appreciation to club members for their generous support on myriad
projects. She was delighted to urge this year's nine new members to stand and be honored. She
especially thanked Yvette Bannen, Awards Chairman, for her arduous efforts in compiling and
submitting material for two awards to the Garden Club of North Carolina.
Mrs. Bannen proudly displayed two blue ribbons - the first for the presentation book compiled
on the procedures for establishing a town recycling bin for plastic flower pots, the second, the Scroll
Award, a most prestigious honor. The information collated reviews the comprehensive unceasing
involvement of a garden club member in every aspect of club activities. The subject of this Scroll
Award was Lois Jean O'Keefe, the most deserving person in Pine Knoll Shores.
The two awards were presented at the meeting of the North Carolina Garden Club held in
Wrightsville Beach on May 25th.
A memento of appreciation for guiding the garden club this year was given to President Judy
Poit. The copper enameled butterfly and humming bird mobiles will enhance the beauty of her
garden.

Dolores (Dee) Bierman moved into their spectacular home
Acorn Court around Thanksgiving. They had
H Garden City, Long Island, New York, where Art owned a
Ui manufacturing business in New Hyde Park. For the past twelve years,
they have lived on Sand Key, on the Gulf of Mexico, just south of
Clearwater Beach, Florida.
Dee has four children, three girls and one boy. She also has nine grandchildren, two
granddaughters and seven grandsons. One of her granddaughters is at Brigham Young University
and is studying medicine.
Art has two children, a boy and a girl. He also has three grandchildren, two granddaughters
and one grandson.
Art and Dee came to visit Jack Doyle on Sycamore Drive. They had been friends up north
along with the Zipfs on Beechwood Drive. Actually Art and Dee were thinking that they would like
to relocate to a golf community in the mountains but when they saw PKS, they were sold. They
bought a piece of property as an investment and returned to Florida. Someone made them an offer
on their condo in Sand Key that they couldn't refuse, so they decided to start building on their PKS
property immediately. Besides being a wonderful community, it is also half way between their
children, some of whom are in Florida and some up north.
Both Dee and Art play golf so they joined the Bogue Banks Country Club and the Morehead
City Country Club. Dee usually plays 18 holes and sometimes plays an additional 9 with Art.
Dee loves the beach and walking the beach. She immediately joined the Sports Center. Art
loves fishing. They both have traveled extensively and continue to travel.
They can't say enough about their contractors, "Home Builders," Bobby Harrington, Len
Furtner and George Brown, and their beautiful home substantiate their praise.
