Club’s Social Day – February 27, 2024
We had an excellent turn-out of twenty-two members and friends visiting the Bloedel Conservatory on February 27th. It was a cold afternoon, but we were able to experience the warmth inside of the conservatory and see plants and birds from around the world. There was even a ‘Wishing Well’ to throw in a coin and make your wish hopefully come true! After our tour of the conservatory, those who attended enjoyed a delicious lunch and enjoyable conversation at Seasons in the Park.
