June Instillation 2026 - Celebrating Success and New Beginnings

The Naples Islands Garden Club celebrated its annual June Luncheon on June 11, 2026, with a Tropical Chic-themed gathering at Old Ranch Country Club. More than 100 members and guests enjoyed colorful décor, tropical centerpieces by Margie Burri and Nada Szafaryn, music by Dorothy Jacobi, and a popular beach-themed photo area.

Following lunch, members recognized long-serving club members and honored outgoing President Linda Frame. New officers were then installed for two-year terms: President Catherine Steisel, 1st VP Trish Schooley, 2nd VP Jennie Renzi, Treasurer Barbara Jordan, Recording Secretary Nada Szafaryn, and Corresponding Secretary Kristen Fisher.

Welcoming, new board members!

The luncheon provided a fitting celebration of the club’s accomplishment for the Club roster winning 1^st Place in California State and Pacific Region, while enjoying friendships and welcoming new leadership for the years ahead.
