Old Business
Plant Sale
Susan G has photos of the 2005 plant sale. The club needs to start planning to publicize the sale in early spring, perhaps in January or February.

New Business
Election of Officers
Nancy S will head the Officer's Nominating Committee. If any member would like to be on the committee or serve as an officer, please contact Nancy.

Town & Country Art Club
The club should coordinate with the Town and Country Art Club to have an area of Town and Country Art Club art for the sale. The River Falls Garden Club will also have an area for the sale of garden related miscellanea.

Anne K, who is member of both clubs, thought the two clubs would be a good match for each other.

Renae P suggested having an area during the plant sale with activities for children. One activity could be having kids pot plants. Renae would volunteer to help with this activity.
Other members thought this would be a complimentary activity - crafts and potting plants.
The club could invite the public to bring pots and we could help people select and pot plants.

Library Purchases
The club should purchase horticulture books or videos for the library before the end of the year. Please give recommendations to Kim K before the November meeting. One idea would be to purchase books on each month's speaker topics.
