Suzy Long, floral designer expert, will entertain and captivate us with her fantastic holiday arrangements that she will create right before our eyes. Suzy has 30 years of experience as a floral designer and will share her experience with us. Suzy is going to make 4-6 arrangements that we will raffle off at our coffee meeting. Don’t miss out! Also, start gathering some items for our January White Elephant Auction. We had such fun last year and got some great items.

 

Installation & Potluck

JUNE 11

Please get out you salad spinners and your Ginzu knives, we’re going to have a potluck in June. At this meeting we will install our new officers for the coming year. After the installation, we will celebrate with a potluck brunch. Please prepare a brunch item of your own choosing to share with the group. You are great cooks so I am really looking forward to the various treats!

 

Debbie Warriner from the San Diego Chapter of Ikebana International.

The Vista Friends and Newcomers will be welcoming Debbie Warriner from the San Diego Chapter of Ikebana International. Debbie will give a brief explanation of the origins of Ikebana and how it differs from Western flower arranging, and then demonstrate some basic arrangements (upright, slanting, flat form) and take questions. This will be an introduction to a form of artistic/cultural expression, concentrating on style and sources of inspiration.

We will also be celebrating our 25th year with a yummy cake.
