Programs and Schedule of Events
Direct any questions regarding programs to igcinformation@gmail.com
The calendar includes the meeting program, speaker and location. The floral design is also listed and references the page in the flower show handbook to find the specifications for that design. These designs are not judged but rather critiqued. This is a good way to learn the art of designing. For information on any Flower Show School, Symposium or other courses, please contact the Flower Arranging Chairperson.
Regular meetings are held at Calvary Presbyterian Church (corner of 7th and Church Streets) on the 3rd Monday of each Month at 7:00 p.m. unless indicated otherwise. All meetings are open to the public. Club members may also attend the business portion of club meetings.
