The New Member’s Luncheon was held at Calloway’s Restaurant on Thursday, April 7, 2022. Our last New Member’s Orientation was May, 2019 and 46 new members have joined since then! Members were formally welcomed to our organization after a long absence due to the pandemic. The luncheon provided new members with information about activities and events the Garden Club of LBI holds throughout the year. Members are not only the lifeline of our organization but they are the “heart and soul” of the Garden Club of Long Beach Island.
