GARDEN TOUR AFTERMATH:
Dear Marg and Brian,
On behalf of Diana Baxter and the Garden Tour Committee, I would like to extend
our heartfelt thanks to you, all your helpers, and Father Maurice for your warm
welcome and collaboration to help make our Garden Tour such a success. The
funds we raise through events like this are important contributions to our
community garden projects.
We were especially pleased that the lunch on the lawn worked out so well for
all of us. It was definitely an added value for our tour clients who were very
complimentary about the food, the lovely setting, the convenience and the
price. The church setting, with the beautiful stained glass windows and rich
wood of the comfortable pews, worked perfectly for our 'Pollinator Garden'
lecture. The rooms for our After-Tour supper were just right and allowed us to
end the day with appropriate thanks to everyone.
We are very grateful for this opportunity to work together. We enjoyed the
experience.
Sincerely,
Kathy

Thanks to everyone for helping to
make our part in the Bloor West Garden Tour such a success. It was a wonderful
day.
We are expecting a hundred dollar honorarium from the Parkdale Toronto
Horticultural Society. They also will be planting some perennials in our
gardens.
Financial Report - Total sales and contributions for the cafe $533.02
Total output for food for lunch $131.45
Net $ 401.57 (+ $100 from the
Horts)
The suggestion has been made that half our profits go to St. Paul's Runnymede
and the other half to a charity of our choice, possibly a newly begun Anglican
endeavour within the Toronto Diocese.
