Cleaning Up!

Yesterday 9 garden club ladies & 2 children picked up 4 LARGE (60gal) black trash bags full of litter from a 1-mile stretch of road on E School St.
Any litter removed creates a better space for humans! Counteract litterbugs by being a litter picker. You don't have to be on an organised litter pick to help, just pick up any rogue litter when you see it and pop it in the bin!
​members of the Diggers and Weeders Garden Club of Lake Charles gathered at the corner of School Street and Common to begin  to clear trash from the area as part of their regular community service. In addition to two grand daughters, the members pictured left to right are Club president Kathy Tell, Barbara Morris, Pam Langley,Carolyn Miller, Diane Langley, Doris Hay, Susan Caldwell and Betsy Doucet.

September 11 Meeting, Memorial Honored

At the Sept 11, 2023 club meeting, Pam Langley presented a native plant program. 
Each member also brought a small bound bundle of flowers/foliage from their yard. They identified their plants in 10 words or less.
Bundles were delivered and laid at the 9/11 memorial after the meeting.
At the Downtown Boardwalk there is a Ribbon of Souls designed by local artist Susan Arnold It features a colorful circle of stained glass that surrounds the 9/11 Memorial. Each piece represents the life of a person who was killed that day. Two steel I-beams from the World Trade Center and a piece of limestone from the Pentagon that was damaged during the attack are engraved to honor the memory of two local men - Russ Keene who died at the World Trade Center and Kevin Yokum who perished at the Pentagon.
