We made over $18,000 for the Morgan Adams Foundation and pediatric cancer research. This is such a memorable and wonderful activity for all of the members to do. We have been invited to do this again in 2026. We will be working on this project most of 2025.GAC member’s Summer Picnic at Sandi and Mike’s home.Echter’s “Glass at the Gardens” – This is a “juried” show and sale. Always fun and profitable.
