TAWGS has an opening for a Vice President and the current President will be stepping aside in 2017. Bring your enthusiasm and desire to work on ponds and water features and join our group. Officer elections are coming up in September and we'd love to see your name on the ballet. Join us at our next monthly meeting (see address at right) at the Dave and Mary Horner's. Learn of our activity and the need for leadership as we grow in 2017.
Don Taliafrro, a long time memebr of TAWGS, has courageously stepped up to relieve one of TAWGS founders and beloved newsletter editor Diane Gruver who has been wanting to retire for several years. February marked his first newletter and he did a great job. March was even better. I think he's got the hang of it. Let's give him a big hand.
So Swim, wade or click on over to our "Newsletter" link and check out the March newsletter. This months issue highlights events from February that included a personal visit by Abe Lincoln at our last club meeting, an article by Bob Saathoff on the success of the 2016 Garden Show and a reprint from the Pond Guy with tips for cleaning out and opening your pond and more.
Don't forget to talk up this year Pond Tour. Efforts will soon be underway to select the Pond Tour Hosts. We have room for a couple more. If you know someone that would like to be a host or would like to nominate someone, contact Don at 785-633-6714 or Chris at 785-633-4854. Want to be a Sponsor, ticket outlet or need a demonstration. Contact Chris at 785-633-4854 for detailed informationon how to advertise or get our groups attention.
We do have a correction to the March newsletter. We inadvertently forgot to mention in the 2016 Garden Show article that Waterscape Concepts was a valuable contibutor to our display and provided the beautiful bubbling vase, base and pump. It was a main focal point that was used as a photo opportunites for many of the attendents and was greatly appreciated.
Volunteers still needed for Anna's Pond at Old Prairie Town - Ward Mead.
Last month brought so much rain that work on Anna's pond stopped. We still have much to do and are waiting on some of Shawnee County Parks and Recreation folks to complete a rataining wall before we can move forward. But stay posted. We still need volunteers to help line the pond with stone and then cleanout the upper and lower pools. It's shaping up. Just a little slower then expected. Let's hope mother nature cooperates this month.
If interested in being a part of this experience, contact Bob Saathoff at 785-640-1482 or Chris Newell at 785-633-4854. All volunteer hours are accounted for and used to help fund the Topeka chapter of Keep America Beautiful. Come join us.
