  • In late 2009, our committees expanded to include a Membership Committee, Nominating Committee, Fundraising Committee, Publicity Committee, & Garden Tea Committee.
  • Site Opening
    GBGSociety.org goes live!
    We still have work to do, but March 31, 2008 the site went live on the web.
  • Committees Meeting
    Garden Tea Committee, Garden Faire Committee, Publicity Committee
    These three main committees have been meeting and working hard. On each committee, there has been a careful breakdown of duties among the members so that no one person is tasked with too much work. Through it all, a handbook is being compiled of the work this year, so next year, if the same events are staged, a lot of the planning will already be done.
  • Society Organization
    GBGSociety forms
    The first meeting of the society was October 25, 2007 at University Baptist Church's Fellowship Hall. By-laws were approved and officers elected.
