Fellowship Place Flower Arranging Workshop

On Thursday 4/10 the GCNH hosted a flower arranging workshop for 20  
members of the Fellowship Place community.    Each participant was  
given a small simple lavender straw basket lined with oasis into which  
they arranged spring pastel colored mini carnations, mums, daisies and  
greens plus a colored egg and a bow or two to top it off.  The members  
had a wonderful time and were thoroughly engaged in creating these  
cheerful Spring arrangements.  They were also delighted to take their  
creations home as decorations for Easter and to give as gifts to  
family and friends.  Special thanks to Bonnie Byers for all her  
thoughtful planning and for leading this wonderful event.  Christine  
Janice and I were Bonnie's able assistants and we had as much fun  
helping as the participants did creating.  The Fellowship Place  
participants were most grateful, repeatedly thanking us for this  
activity.  It was such a success we can't wait to do it again in the  
fall.
