You Are Invited To
Vigorously!
Grow Your Garden Club's Membership by participating in National Garden Clubs'
Canna Membership Contest
and
Grow Your Treasury with NCAGC's $100 Cash
When Your Garden Club Recruits the
Highest Percentage of New Members!
Here’s How the Contest Works!
1. Mail new member’s name, contact information and $8 (payable
to NCAGC) to Carole Butler,
1508 Auburn Avenue, Rockville, MD 20850.
2. The Garden Club with the largest membership increase, percentage wise (starting
5/31/08, ending 6/1/09) WINS the $100 cash! So, if your Club had 30 members at the end of May 2008 and you recruited 3 new members between June 1, 2008 and May 31, 2009; membership in your Club increased 10%.
3. The Garden Club with largest membership increase, percentage wise, wins the $100 cash, and NCAGC will have a good chance of winning the National Garden Clubs’ national membership contest prize of having a new Canna cultivar named for it.
