Many other certificates were given for 2^nd and 3^rd place in specific award areas and participation in others.  Those Clubs in the District were:

•   D.U.P.I.
•   Floral Arts
•   La Conner Civic
•   Oak Harbor
•   Tulip Valley Gardeners

It was so exciting when Chuckanut District and a Club name was announced at the Awards Ceremony!  I definitely got my exercise this year!  Thank you so much for taking time to enter these award categories and for doing so well!  What surprised me was that even with all the awards that were given out, over twenty awards weren’t even applied for.  I encourage Clubs who have not been participating in the state awards to seriously consider doing so.  Having an Awards Chairman in your Club helps, too.  If you’re unsure how to do any of this, give the Oak Harbor Garden Club a call or send an email.  I’m sure they’d be happy to help you!

Again, congratulations!

Daphne Ruxton, Director for Chuckanut District
