2015 Annual Convention

Posted on by

Dear CFGC Members,

I hope you are as excited as I am about the upcoming Annual Convention, May 29 – 31st.  Join the party to reconnect with other members, learn some history, participate in a custom-made, flower themed murder mystery, and visit Red Rocks to see nesting birds of prey.  All this, plus more is planned.

Today, Wednesday, May 20th is the last day to get your registration fee submitted before incurring a $5 late fee.  However, if  you email Susan Buckingham at  susanbuckingham@comcast.net by end of day Thursday, May 21st informing her you will be attending (if possible include the attached registration form with your information) the Registration Committee will waive the $5 late fee.  So don’t miss out on this opportunity – I hope to see you there!

Happy Gardening!
Joyce Cassidy, 2015 CFGC Annual Convention Planning Committee
