Web Site Welcome
Web Site WelcomeDear Garden Club Members and visitors to our Website: Our Website has been operational now since December of 2007. It has grown enormously from the five pages we used to have.
We can all access a great deal of valuable information in the many content areas. There are areas exclusively for members and others for the general viewer. There are links to other garden clubs in Michigan, our National Garden Clubs and Central Region plus there are many related gardening sites.
The public areas are designed to give the visitor an idea of what the organization is about, so they can explore their interests further through one of our member clubs. The member areas are designed to provide our members and the club leadership information that is helpful in doing the great service that all of our clubs provide.
The site will continue to change as new material is presented that would be of interest to members or the general public. It is a vehicle for up-to-date communication with our membership and potential new members.
While most of our members did not grow up with computers like today’s generation, many have acquired the required skills or know someone who can help. Change of any kind can be difficult, and usage of the site as a supplement to the written materials we are used to will take time. As newer members enter our organization they will bring with them new ideas that will make our organization (and the website) something that we can continue to be proud of.
Michigan Garden Clubs’ Board is grateful to Edna Rosenfield for her generous gift through her Trust Fund. It was decided to utilize the gift for the benefit of many and especially to those interested in joining a garden club. Our investment in the website is intended to honor Edna for her generosity.
