Sunshine Garden Club Time Change

 

November 12th 

Retzlaff Hall

5:15pm - 6:30pm Guest Speaker

 

Topic:  Soil Rejuvenation and Amendments

 

Can you give new life to old potting soil. Absolutely!  What about clay garden soil, Yes.

 

Do you have container pots filled with old soil with or without plants?

 

Do you toss the dried up dirt and replace with big box bags of potting mix? What if you need a small amount such as a handful or quart? What if you have lots of containers? Those bags of commercial potting mix can really add up in cost.

 

Let’s breathe new life into that old soil. That just makes sense (cents)!  Reusing old potted mix is more satisfying, sustainable, and environmentally friendly.

 

Let’s revitalize that old soil! Are you ready to dig in? Join us for our November get together featuring Michael Navarro.

 

4:45 pm. Plantings/cuttings are available for a small donation.  Snapdragon vine, salvia, basil, porterweed, milkweed, canna starts, crown of thorns, sweet potato vine.  If you have extras in your garden feel free to bring.

Donations will be put towards edging for gardens.

 

See you this Tuesday.     - Susanne Ulrich

Dear Friends

 

Veterans Day at Sunshine --  plans:

 

Our group met the other day and on Veterans Day (Monday  11 November)  we shall have a patriotic program sponsored by several residents followed by a Potluck.  There is a team for each project.

 

We will all meet in Retz Hall for the program at 3pm.  If you would like to participate - please sign up in the Library  (carry a Flag etc)  and I will contact you.  

 

The program may take about 30 minutes or so and then there will be ample time for you to get your dish from home.

 

The Potluck will begin at 4pm and I believe there are volunteers supporting this as well.

All Sunshine Residents -

   On Wednesday Nov 13, The SCCE Fishing Association, a fishing group of Sunshine Residents, Renters & Guests who want to learn about saltwater fishing meet at Retzlaff Hall at 6:00PM. We had an open discussion about our fishing experiences from the month before. We also try to have an expert speaker, a Guide Captain or someone who knows about a style of fishing. That includes where to fish, baits to use, type of tackle to use etc. We start with zero knowledge. We have poles and tackle you can use to get started before you invest in your own. You all are invited to come to the meeting and check us out. After our open discussion and speaker, you are welcome to stay for our business meeting. If you decide to participate with our group there is a small lifetime participation fee. Hope to see you there. Feel free to contact the President of the Association Bill Peterson @309-945-2108.
