The Tradition Garden Club sponsored a Christmas Bazaar

on Saturday, December 5th, with items donated by our residents.
 

Despite the rainy weather and low turn out, the Garden Club was able to donate $650.05 to Tidelands Hospice from the proceeds of the sale.

 

A big “thank you” to the countless volunteers who baked goods, made craft items, collected decorations, set up the sale, and to those who sold, bought, took down, and packed Christmas items.  Everything that was not sold at the sale was packed up and taken down to the Hospice store in Georgetown.

 

Many thanks to the Tradition residents who volunteered with their time and talents to help decorate our community:

 

  • Eileen Mayfield
  • Ann MacDonald
  • Mildred Culpepper
  • Suzie Albright
  • Irene Bossert
  • Jeanette Renault
  • Pat Castanera
  • Theresa Mishik Vercellotti

Tradition's own Ken Dewell gave a tremendously interesting and exciting talk about the Litchfield Corridor Beautification Program at the Nov. 11 Garden Club meeting. The program's purpose is to enhance and maintain the "front porch" of our beautiful Litchfield community and to preserve this area for both guests and residents. Grass cutting, trash pickup, seeding, trimming, pruning, pine straw, and hundreds of  plantings are at an annual cost of  $110,000. With the combined donations from businesses and homeowners and matching grants from ATAX (accommodations tax), a three mile stretch of Route 17, from North of Sandy Island Road to Martin Luther King Road is on it's way to being a beautiful welcome to all who travel this area. Donations are gratefully appreciated.

  
                                                    
 

 

 

Andrea DeMuth, Curator of Animals at Brookgreen Gardens, was our guest at the October meeting.  Andrea brought along three friends whom we might find in our yards: a screech owl, a baby opossum who was rescued from a cart path at Brookgreen, and a rat snake.  Andrea spent 29 years with the zoo dept. at Busch Gardens in FL while working on her BS in biology.  She is now attending Coastal Carolina to complete her last 20 hours.  We saw pelts of poisonous snakes in order to recognize and avoid them. 

Andrea's visit with us was a '10'.
