Second Meeting of the Puerto Vallarta Garden Club Announced
SPCA Volunteer Spotlight: Miranda
She absolutely loves animals and has been around dogs for a while
NIn a recent press release, the Puerto Vallarta Garden Club announced its second meeting, which will be a breakfast meeting on Wednesday, August 25, 2010 at Las Calandrias, Constitucion 437, between Manuel M. Dieguez and Francisca Rodriguez promptly at 11AM.
It is, as the press release reads, an organizational meeting, and all interested parties are urged to attend.
Items on the agenda include:
- Reading and approval of Mission and Vision statements.
- Website name: www.puertovallartagc.org Set up and donated by Rick Hepting.
- Seven committees were set up by the ad hoc committee. Members are asked to participate in at least one: Annual May Bougainvillea Festival, Fund-raising [Ways and Means], Publicity, Malecon Beautification, Parque Lazaro Cardenas Beautification, Membership and Website.
- Nomination and Election of officers: Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer and Board Member-at-large = 5 positions.
- Start Up fund. Recommend 200 pesos per person to fund our empty treasury. Donations will be handled in person and on-line by the Vallarta Botanical Gardens.
- Sketches for malecon, pro bono. City has offered many bougainvilleas for our planting at no charge.
As this is only the ground floor of the organization, ideas relating to the garden club will be discussed. No off-topics. The Emiliano Zapata organization of the Parque and the local Ecological group will be encouraged to participate. Locals in Puerto Vallarta are urged to attend and offer their views. This club will work with any and all other organizations, including country-wide. The goals are the same: develop Puerto Vallarta as a beautiful floriferous city which will draw visitors worldwide and make it more desirable for locals and other full-timers.
The breakfast meeting is not a fundraiser for the Garden Club; there is a fifty [50] pesos admission fee paid at the door, which includes breakfast. All money goes to the restaurant.
Miranda has been volunteering at the library for about three months now. She absolutely loves animals and has been around dogs for a while, thanks to her father who is a trainer. She tries to rescue strays she finds living in the street and has been know to reprimand neighbors who she feels are mistreating their animals. Everyone at SPCA love having her with them at the library.
