OLD BUSINESS
5-a Discussion -- Garden of the Week
Dimmick requested the Committee propose possible Garden of the Week winners and
to start compiling a list of future candidates. After a brief discussion the Committee
unanimously chose Dick McCartan's garden as Garden of the Week. Frates stated he
would arrange for a photograph and would have it published by Friday.
As the Clarion is now featuring Garden of the Week homes in Soldotna, the Committee
suggested requesting alternate days or additional space for Kenai Garden of the Week
winners.
