“Autumn…the year’s last, loveliest smile.” – William Cullen Bryant

Welcome back! I’m not sure where summer has gone, but autumn brings us together for another year of NIGC. We are planning more of the fun-filled events and important activities that make Naples Islands Garden Club what it has grown to be over the last 50 glorious years.

Can’t wait to see all of you at our first General Meeting on Monday, September 11th when Linda Frame, our 1st VP – Programs, will present the first of a whole year of  entertaining, informative speakers planned for our General Meetings. Please join us for refreshments at 12:30 and Meeting at 1 pm.

Our first Dine-Out of the season will be held at Nico’s on Thursday, September 21st. Thank you, Laura Conte, for continuing to schedule fun, fundraising Dine-Outs for our enjoyment. Let’s all come out and gather at Nico’s with friends and family while supporting our club and local restaurants.

In honor of NIGC’s 50th Anniversary, another crepe myrtle will be planted on Saturday, September 23rd at Naples Bayside Academy. All are welcome to come out for the planting. We do not yet know the time, but it is usually an early morning event.

A huge thank-you to those of you who have stepped up to chair the important events and activities that make NIGC an award-winning Garden Club. We are so grateful to you. And to all who volunteer for Beautification projects and event committees, thank you for selflessly donating your time and resources. This year let’s ALL get involved: grab your aprons and dig in the dirt; join committees; attend meetings. Enjoy gathering and working with other members as you support our celebrated Garden Club and our beautiful Naples Islands.

Warmest wishes,
