President’s Message
DIG Board and Committee Opportunities
It’s that time of the year already! Time to think about nominating the new Board of Directors for 2027 and to consider new Chairpersons for the many Committees that helps run this great Club. We have formed the Nominating Committee to develop a list of members who want to serve on the Board. Board positions include the President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary. The President appoints the Committee Chairpersons; including Membership, Publicity, Programs, Hospitality, Weeder Editor / Web Site Manager, Scholarship, Garments, Field Trips, Plant Sale, Plant Manager. We are also looking for members interested in serving as assistants to the various positions so that they can learn more about the job and be able to ultimately fill the position.
Nominations for these four Board positions are presented to the members at the October General meeting and open nominations are accepted at that time. The election by the members at large is at the November General Meeting and the new Board Members are installed at the December annual Holiday Potluck and begin to serve in their elected positions then.
The President appoints Chairpersons to the many committees and other committees can be added by the President as the need arises. Several of the Board and Committee members currently wear several hats, filling multiple positions and some are ready to relinquish one or more of their roles to other members interested in the positions.
There are many new and long-time members, with fresh ideas that can help our garden club. If any of the above positions pique your interest and you want more information on the details or specifics on any of the positions, please contact this years Nominating Committee; Robin Choate, Sonja Sellers, and Rachel Ortega. Contact Robin at rchoate80@yahoo.com or Bob Selders at r.selders@yahoo.com and we can send a written job description for most of the positions, or we can talk about the duties of the positions. We need everyones help, so please step up and volunteer for one of the many positions.
Dig has served east county for 38 years, let’s keep going for another 38 years!

🐝 BEES!🐝
This month we are SO excited to welcome our own DIG member, Margo Olson, who will be sharing her love of bees with us! Along with some honey tasting and a demonstration hive! Here’s a little bit about Margo.
Margo became interested in bees just over four years ago when a cluster of bees found her. Since then, her backyard apiary has grown from one colony to two. Her fascination with bees is fueled by her love of gardening and the desire for prolific zucchini as well as a craving for the sweetness and health benefits of local honey. What’s not to love about creatures that will give you both! Come and see our tiny friends close up, learn about ways to invite them into your garden, and taste the golden honey that they share with us.
