The Pine Knoll Shores Garden Club installed new officers for
the coming year on June 14 at its spring luncheon at the Coral Bay
Club in Atlantic Beach. Susan King was installed as president, Ilene
Karlsson and Karen Zaenker as 1st vice presidents, Jean McDanal as
2nd vice president, Linda Langheld as recording secretary, Lisa Park
as treasurer, and Karen Zaenker as corresponding secretary. Sheryl
Woodbury conducted the installation and presented each with a
flower pot containing the flower that corresponded to the officer s
special job. Lana Hathaway gave an invocation.
At a brief business meeting. President Kay Howe welcomed
everyone present, especially new members Jo McGovern, Lisa Park
and Libby Gallagher. Ms. Howe informed members that she had
ordered extra bundles of evergreen wreaths for the club to sell for
the Christmas holidays. She reminded members that at 5:50 p.m.
that day the club would be presenting the official Blue Star Memorial plaque to the
town of Pine Knoll Shores at town hall and invited everyone to the presentation.
She also informed us that Treasurer Susan King and Blue Star Memorial Chairman
Arleen Graczewski had attended the District 11 meeting of the North Carolina
PKS License Plates Available
Decorative Pine Knoll Shores license plates have been developed to promote the
Outstanding natural resources and endless recreational activities of one of North
Carolina’s most attractive areas—a community that is a combination of sandy
beaches, maritime forest and sound side marshes.
Bruce Beasley, a summer resident for four years and a nonresident member of
ffie Pine Knoll Shores Planning Board had seen a constant barrage of license plates.
Window stickers and t-shirts from other coastal communities, and was passionate
^out finding a way to highlight the many attributes of Pine Knoll Shores and the
special place that it is. He used his 30 years of marketing with the Wilson Chamber
of Commerce to create a plate design depicting sound and salt marshes with ocean
shoreline, an abundance of trees in the maritime forest, and seagulls that were
taken from the image of the Pine Knoll Shores town seal.
The license plates are $20, with proceeds going to the Parks and Recreation
Committee, and are available at the town hall.

Garden Club in Jacksonville. Ms. Graczewski was designated chairman of the
District 11 Blue Star Memorial Committee.
In addition tc the two awards that the club won last month, it also received two
additional awams from the Garden Club of North Carolina—the North Carolina
Garden Club “reports” award and the award for supporting Tomorrow’s Legacy.
Ms. Graczewski informed us that lighting was being arranged for our Blue Star
Memorial at the corner of Pine Knoll Boulevard and Salter Path Road.
Vice President Jean McDanal announced that the club had worked for 464 hours
at the nine town gardens this year, planting, weeding, mulching and pruning.
At the conclusion of the meeting President Howe thanked her board members
for their tremendous help during the year and recounted memorable meetings,
including the project where we all created shell flowers from beach shells, and the
session in which we learned about succulents at Redfearn’s Nursery in Cedar Point.
Highlighted above all, however, was our installation of the Blue Star Memorial, with
an unforgettable ceremony attended by local, state and military officials, veterans,
and even a kilted bagpiper, followed by a reception at town hall.
Garden Club meetings are held at town hall on the second Wednesday of every
month at 9:30 a.m. for refreshments, followed by the program at .10. Guests and
visitors are always welcome. Come join us and join our club.
