Talk will focus on local wildlife refuge
GARDEN CLUB
The Garden Club will meet Monday, Oct. 16, at 1:30 p.m. in Clubhouse 2. This month’s speakers are Ted and Jeri Nowell, longtime Mutual 5 residents and longtime volunteers at the National Wildlife Refuge, which is located on the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station.
His lifelong interest in plants and gardening led Ted to volunteer to work in the garden at the refuge 16 years ago. Jeri followed two years ago. They help maintain the 3.5-acre native garden. They will present a slideshow expertly photographed and produced by fellow Mutual 5 resident Cristina Vegas.
Tickets at $25 each will be on sale in the lobby for the Christmas brunch, which will be held on Dec. 18 at 11:30 a.m. in Clubhouse 2. A dazzling brunch with scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, potatoes, muffins and pastries will be provided by Country Garden Caterers. If any tickets are still available for the Oct. 18 Sherman Library and Gardens tour, they will also be on sale for $60.
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.
