During the week of Nov. 27, the Mtn. View Garden Club hosted its annual Swag Workshop at the Community Center. “We are extremely grateful to the 25 helpers who helped the 17 members in making over 80 of the festive 5-foot high swags,” said club member Robi Tanner of those who contributed their time to assemble evergreen decor to display around the city. “Making the swags is only a part of the process. Our thanks also go out to those who took the time to cut and deliver pickup fulls of the pine, cedar and holly branches that go into making the swags. And not to be forgotten are the dedicated members of the City Park Department who spent many hours hanging the swags throughout the city.” Next year's workshop is planned for Nov. 25 through 27. Anyone with pine or cedar branches to donate to the effort is invited to contact Tanner at 573-292-3000. “Thank you everyone, because without you, projects like this are not possible!” she added. The Mtn. View Garden Club is a member of the National Garden Clubs, the Federated Garden Clubs of Missouri and the Central Region Garden Clubs.
