  • Springs State Park and the Uncertainties of Safety of Members Had It Been Held
    President’s Message Dear Friends, It is difficult to imagine that the two years of my journey as FFGC President is almost coming to an end. I never expected the position would be so challeng- ing, but it is one I would not trade for anything I have ever done in my life. By the time you receive this issue, my prayer is that we will be in a better place with the spread of Covid-19, and that the Pandemic is coming to a welcomed end. It has affected are lives greatly, and I think regularly about the effect it has had on so many families who are suffering from the loss of loved ones. I hope all this will be a bitter memory and we will move on with a more normal life. FFGC is fortunate to have so many good and resourceful members who are re- silient and found alternative methods to continue the important business of our organization. I know I am repeating my self in congratulating our members who learned how to work around all the restrictions and still managed to be as safe as possible from the spreading virus, but it bears re- peating. Learning how to use ZOOM allowed us to carry on with furthering FFGC missions even though we were not able to meet face-to-face for such a long time. As I think back, I am reminded that there have been disappointments which we managed to overcome such as the need to cancel our 2020 Convention, and the inability to host the Deep South Garden Club Convention which was also cancelled.
