We Celebrated Spring on May 4

We sang, shared and danced around the May pole for our final meeting of the 07-08 year. This "Spring Fling" included a plant exchange, seeds, herbs, music, food and poetry. Betsy Wiggins talked about spirituality in gardening and we heard other readings relating to the season.

We collected lots of socks and underwear to be given out at the Center for New Americans to refugee families who come to Syracuse. And we elected new officers. Ann Eppinger Port continues as our president.
