GUILDERLAND — The Guilderland Garden Club has elected these officers for 2022:

— President Merril-Lee Lenegar;

— First Vice President Maureen McNamara;

— Second vice President John Haluska;

— Secretaries Donna Mohr and  Linda Miller; and

— Treasurer Kris Vogt.

The Garden Club’s holiday wreath and craft sale held on Dec. 4 was a huge success with a profit of $1,052.23. There were many beautiful wreaths, arrangements, pine cone trees, and concrete urns as well as homemade ornaments. We received $66 in cash donations for food pantries as well as cartons of dry and canned goods.

With the money the club had on hand from previous donations from meetings we had in 2021 we were able to send $103 each to the Guilderland and Altamont food pantries. The dry and canned goods were also split between the two pantries. We will decide at our March 10 meeting where additional donations should be sent to.

We welcome new members. People with all sorts of interests are welcome such as flower gardening as well as vegetable gardening. Please don’t feel that you need to be a great gardener to be a member.

Please contact me, John Haluska, at if you are interested. New members to our community are particularly welcome.

The public work of the  Guilderland Garden Club can be found in the gardens at the Mynderse-Frederick House of History in Guilderland Center as well as the Schoolcraft House on Western Turnpike.
