Club President Jane Wilson, assisted by Shirley Casey, conducted a candlelight observance as a memorial for our deceased members for 2004: Mildred Carter, Mary Katherine Steele, and Idabelle Neumann.
Each member gave over 50 years of service to GFWC. They are missed.
The program that followed provided a sophisticated report on urban forestry presented by a newcomer to the community, John Watkins, landscape designer. Mr. Watkins' experiences in the state of Virginia and Georgia covered the care and development of private and public areas.

He was introduced by the club conservation chairman, Lois Mclean. It was a fitting program for the day, officially Earth Day.
