Garden Club
The Garden Club will meet Monday, Sept 18, at 1:30 p.m. in Clubhouse 2. Speaker Kathie Moriarty, Ph.D., will discuss native plants. Moriarty was able to combine her enthusiasm for teaching with her passion for the world and people by earning her master’s in geography at Cal State Long Beach. Her thesis on restoration ecology focused on the human impact on the earth’s environment at Crystal Cove State Park.
Teaching geography is her true calling and passion. An important component of what she teaches is restoration ecology, which emphasizes the significance of introducing native plants and bringing back native habitats, stability and biodiversity to the Earth and its ecosystems. Native plants are naturally drought resistant in coastal Southern California’s Mediterranean climate.
Security Services Director Victor Rocha will give a brief presentation on the new gate entry system that will use radio frequency identification (RFID) cards. See page 2 for more information.

The We Care table will be set up in the lobby for donations of non-perishable food items, gift cards and cash. All are welcome to attend. Coffee, tea and cookies will be served after the meeting.
