The 7th annual Soroptimist International of Sequim Garden Show
was a huge success. We raised approximately $14,000.00 to be
used for Scholarships, Medical Loan Closet, Community Aid, First
Teacher, Habitat for Humanity, Kids Irrigation Day, Little League,
Museum & Arts Center, Olympic Theater Arts, Rose House and
Boys and Girls Club. Each and every one of you made this possible.
The part I enjoy most about being involved in this event is
getting to know each of you a little better. It is three days
of hard work and many, many hours of preparation. I would like
to name a few Flower Power people who gave many hours to this
project.

Kathy Purcell – She is our Steel Magnolia. Always there
making sure the advertising was completed, the art work done,
and of course we all know she was born with a computer in her
crib. I believe she invented the Internet not Al Gore. The Garden
show Web site was a blooming masterpiece. Also taking pictures
of each vendor. Thank you, Kathy.

Kate Creasey – The Magnificent Mum that worked with
Kathy Purcell to make sure our name and faces were where
in the news. Thank you, Kate. |

and persistence. She recruited new major sponsors and new

Jane
Manzer – Our Money Tree. Jane was responsible for our
budget, collecting money, paying bills and keeping us on track.
This tends to be a thankless job, however one of the most important
jobs of the Committee. Jane makes this look effortless. Thank
you, Jane.
