President of Flotsam and Jetsam Garden Club

Hansville's Flotsam and Jetsam Garden Club wishes to thank everyone who helped to make our May 9 Garden Sale so successful.

Our more than 200 members take pride in sharing their gardening knowledge, plants, cut flowers and baked goods. Our customers can take pride in their donations to support funding of scholarships to local students in horticultural and environmental fields, awarding of grants to area gardening projects and contributions to local charitable organizations.

Our special thanks go to the numerous businesses and individuals who generously contributed plants, raffle and silent auction items. These donors are listed on our Web site at www.flotsamandjetsamgardenclub.com. They will also be featured on the back cover of our 2009-10 members' directory.

We were delighted with the participation of Boy Scout Troop 555. The enthusiasm and skilled customer service the Scouts provided was very much appreciated.

We hope that the support the community has given to our day-before-Mother's Day sale has helped to spread our enjoyment of gardening. Many thanks, and we hope to see you back next year.
