You are probably looking out at the rain and stormy wind right now. My shrubs are in dire need of pruning already due to the recent rain, sun, rain, and, of course, humidity! I'm guessing that you are having the same experience, and so, just in time, our speaker, Pam Michels, will be presenting a lecture with photo examples on The Art of Pruning.  This meeting will be done via Zoom. If you don't know what that is, please ask your children or grandchildren. It is a very user-friendly app to have on your phone or computer. Many of you Presidents have probably already used it to conduct your Club Board and general meetings. If so, please let me know how it is working for you.  The meeting will begin at 10:00, and Pam Michels will speak at 10:45.   -Rosemary Eshghi
