Annual Meeting 
At the meeting of the Council of Presidents held in New York 
on March the 15th, the question of holding an Annual Meeting of 
The Garden Club of America for the year 1918 was, on motion, 
referred to the Executive Committee for final decision. The Executive 
Committee have considered this matter most carefully and have very 
reluctantly decided that the pleasant but unessential complications 
involved in such a meeting are better deferred to less troublous times. 
The disappointment is doubly keen this year since the meeting 
would have been held in Boston with the Arnold Arboretum as the 
main objective. 
The Executive Committee feels that its decision is consistent with 
the spirit of the times and hopes that it will meet with the unqualified 
approval of the members.
