  • February 2016 Nevada Garden Clubs, Inc
    Vol. 43 No. 3 Director’s Theme: “Look to the Garden Through the Eyes of a Child – A Kaleidoscope of Possibilities” our children are the ones to lead us, they need to be prepared and we can help in that process. Recently while planting bulbs with a Cub Scout Troop, we found them eager to learn, asking questions and enjoying the crisp fall air. I asked them to find three creatures as we were planting the bulbs and they found them: a worm, a lady bug and, of course, bees. This led to an educational opportunity regarding each of those creatures. They wanted to hear more and to do more. We must ask ourselves, “What have we done to make this world a better place for children?” Come to the Pacific Region Convention “Beyond the Neon” in Henderson, Nevada. We are so excited to welcome all of you. We can share ideas about how to Pacific Region Director Krisitie Livreri & Cub Scout Troop make the world a better place. We are planning some tours that will enlighten all of us. Our workshops and CALL TO CONVENTION-see pages 8 to 14 programs will be educational and productive. And we will be entertained. We look forward to hearing the Director’s Message chairmen report about what each of the states have been doing and of course the state presidents will have Happy New Year!!! When I was a child 2016 was time to boast about the things they are doing in their incomprehensible. It would have been a Sci-Fi movie.
