Dear DeKalb County Federation of Garden Club Members,
What an honor to serve you as your President for 2023-2025! Thank you for your support of our organization. Special thanks are extended to the Executive Board and to the Committee Chairs for their hard work and dedication to our many projects and services.
The year 2023-2024 is a special milestone as we are celebrating our 75th Birthday as an organization!
The 2023-2024 DeKalb Federation year will be filled with opportunities to gather with friends and fellow garden club members and rejoice in the anniversary. At each gathering we will be noting the milestone and spotlighting our history and our current projects with special programs and some surprises.
DeKalb Federation has a legacy of community service that extends across the county, the Redbud District and to the State of Georgia. We encourage beautification, education and conservation within the county. From plantings in front of firehouses to supporting STEM teachers in our schools to donating underwear to patients at Georgia Regional Hospital, we provide many levels of service to others. We will continue these projects and the 9/11 Memorial Service in 2023 and include many additional ways to add value to our fellow citizens for my entire term of service.
We also support the Cherokee Garden Library, contribute to the Garden Club of Georgia Scholarship program each year and celebrate our partnership with Callanwolde Fine Arts Center where our headquarters are located. The grounds around our garden center are an active beautification project that has the energetic support of workers from four garden clubs. In these and other projects we are dedicated to serving our fellow citizens.
Come join us as we celebrate 75 wonderful years as the DeKalb County Federation of Garden Clubs!
Quill Duncan, President
The DeKalb County Federation of Garden Clubs, Inc.
