The Ellinwood Garden Club, established in 1961, has as its mission the βbeautification of Ellinwoodβ. Β It is a civic group of men and womenΒ who have also participated in local events such as parades, garden tours, and seasonal events.Β Members meet at local venues or atΒ a memberβs home on the second Wednesday of the monthΒ from JanuaryΒ throughΒ June and SeptemberΒ throughΒ December.Β
The club'sΒ main fundraiser is the annual quilt drawing, usuallyΒ heldΒ immediately following the After Harvest Festival Parade in July.Β However, this year, 2020, the club will look to another venue-opportunity to sell tickets or accept donations for their quilt drawing.Β WeΒ have acquired a beautiful Batik fabric patchwork quilt, 66"Β x 60", from Dana Burroughs PfanensteilΒ (daughter of member Mildred Burroughs)Β for the drawing . . .Β to be announced at a later date.
The Garden Club established the metalΒ wheat-shockΒ sculptures in 1997, re-established the Memorial Rose Garden 2018,Β andΒ has maintained the Main Street planter boxesΒ for many seasons (ο»ΏWe've also decorated them for Christmas).Β These projects have been possible with the continued tremendous support the club receives from memorials, our annual fundraiser,Β donationsΒ from club members and other Ellinwood individuals, andΒ help fromΒ the City of Ellinwood. Β Β Β
CurrentΒ Garden Club members are Mildred Burroughs, Gayle Christie, Marla Habiger, Glenda Heinz, Marianne Isern, Rosie Joiner, Renee Miller, Ruth Peters, Jo Ann Roth, Linda Sherman, June Stephens, Debbie Tillotson, and Mike Westerman.
When you see these folks around town, be sure to thank them for everything they do for our community!
