SOUTH ATLANTIC REGION
UNIFIED PROJECT 2007-2009
During each administration, the
National Garden Club, Inc. sponsors just one award category that is
competitive between the eight Regions. It is entitled THE EMERALD
AWARD - #12. The award is only given at the end of the
second
year of said administration. A Certificate of Merit and a $200
award may be awarded the Region for coordinated activities in
accordance with the programs and objectives of NGC. ALL states in
the Region must participate. Kentucky, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia are included in the South Atlantic
Region.
Each of the Regional Directors choose their own projects. With Director Anne Brown choosing the theme Sharing the Joy of Gardening, she planned that the emphasis be on sharing. It is her hope that your efforts in sharing your gardening experience will being joy to your members and to the lives of people we touch. Anne has purposefully chosen categories of the project that are not of great difficulty.
