One " Garden Club of America " Meeting a Year 
in Each Club 
It has been suggested that each Club have one meeting a 
year devoted to the subject of the Garden Club of America. 
The President or a near-by Director might be glad to come 
to this meeting and explain its reason for existing. The organiza- 
tion would be welded together by such inter-club activity as well 
as by the Spring and Fall Meetings, the Visitors' Book and the 
Flower Shows, so changing it from a disjointed line of isolated 
clubs to a strongly-linked, flexible chain. We want you all to 
understand what your Directors are trying to do for you and 
for gardening in America, and working together we can help 
the organization to push on to greater usefulness, and by 
cultivating even more beauty in our gardens, create contentment 
in our souls.
