question of financing this circularization was discussed. Those present 
volunteered to subscribe individually sufficient funds to cover the cost. 
Policy The President announced that many appeals were made to the 
Committee Garden Club of America for co-operation in various projects, that 
in a recent conference between her and the Secretary, the Secretary 
had proposed that a Policy Committee be appointed to consider what 
subjects came within the scope of the Garden Club of America.

subject.

Annual In connection with the discussion of the next Annual Meeting, Mrs. 
Meeting and Harry T. Marshall, President of the Albermarle Garden Club which 
Excursion issued the invitation to the Garden Club of America for the Annual 
Meeting of 192 1, spoke of the difficulty of housing a large number of 
delegates and non-delegates in Charlottesville, Mrs, Thomas S, 
Wheelwright, President of the James River Garden Club, expressed the 
wish of all the Virginia Garden Clubs to join in this invitation to the 
Garden Club of America, The condition of the roads in Virginia 
was then discussed, and it was agreed that the autumn would be the 
most practical time for this visit. The question of separating the 
Annual Business Meeting from the Annual Excursion was then dis- > 
cussed. It was decided to recommend to the Directors that for one 
year's trial the Annual Business Meeting be held in New York during 
the spring. This would leave the question of the Annual Excursion to 
be decided independently, Mrs, Harry T. Marshall was appointed by 
the Chair Chairman of a Committee of the Virginia Clubs to present 
definite details upon the proposed visit to the Directors of the Garden 
Club of America, leaving it to the Virginia Committee and the 
Directors to decide whether it would be possible to make this most 
interesting visit as its Annual Excursion. 
Mrs, J, Willis Martin, Honorary Vice-President, and the Secretary 
stated that in their judgment, inasmuch as the Business Meeting was 
to be separated from the Annual Excursion, there should be no dis- 
tinction in the program of the officers of the local clubs and of the 
national organization and the general membership. The question 
of Hmiting the number of delegates from each Club was discussed and 
it was recommended that the Directors draw up a plan when it was 
announced how many members of the Garden Club of America 
could be accommodated in the Annual Excursion. 
Miss Edith Wetmore, of the Garden Association in Newport, 
extended an invitation to the Garden Club of America for the 
Annual Excursion of 1922,
