March 2025 CVIDS Club Meeting
Our March meeting took place on March 8 at the Coralville Public Library. Following the social time and potluck, Diane Derganz & Nancy Carlisle gave presentations on the “Stout Silver Medal Award for Daylilies & Dykes Award for Iris – History and How They're Chosen". Jackie Westhoff then talked about “Iris pests and prevention”, focusing on how to recognize and deal with the iris borer. The afternoon concluded with a business meeting (for agenda, click here) including a roll call in which members shared the number of Stout Award winners growing in their gardens. Meeting minutes will be posted when they become available. Many thanks to Diane, Nancy Carlisle and Jackie for their presentations! Heather will be giving a program at the Muscatine Art of Gardening event on March 15. She could also use some volunteers to help man the table. If interested, please contact her.

February 2025 CVIDS Club Meeting
Our February 8th club meeting was scheduled to take place at the Johnson County Extension Office in Iowa City but had to be canceled due to inclement weather. Sherry Moffit's program, "Photographing Daylilies - Tips for Amateurs", will be presented at our April meeting. Revisit the Bulletin Board for updates!
Looking for our 2025 Team of Volunteers
As you well know, many volunteers are required each year to successfully carry out all our club activities. At the January meeting, our President Diane Derganz passed around sign-up sheets and urged everyone to sign up for one or more committees to help with whatever jobs need to be done. The table below indicates how far we have come in establishing our 2025 team of volunteers. Please support the club by lending your talents throughout the year. Please contact Diane by email or phone with your offer of help! As the saying goes: "Many hands make light work".
