March 21, 2015 at New Hope Presbyterian Church, Davenport

Our potluck lunch started shortly after 12 noon. Forty-nine members attended and learned about the 2015 Club Plants from Zora Ronan. While the list is not finalized at this time, Zora shared photos and descriptions of the confirmed cultivars which will be available in May for the distribution. President Nancy Carlisle called the business meeting to order at 2:08 PM. The first item on the agenda was a special time of recognition and remembrance in light of CVIDS 25th Anniversary coming up next week on March 24th. A display of club photos and memorabilia was available thanks to the contributions of several long-time members. Two charter members from that first meeting in 1990 were in attendance. Barry Stoll and Gerald Hobbs were given certificates and name badges. Joy Adams, Jackie Westhoff, and Mary Moore were also recognized as members who joined within that first year and were present at today’s meeting. All five members spoke of their thoughts and reflections on the development and growth of CVIDS.
