Musings from our new President!
Thoughts from Peru
There are so many to thank from my new...perch? First, Lyn Flynn for inviting AGC to meet at her stunning lakeside paradise. Then, the Hospitality Committee for their continued hard work and delicious offerings. The Annual Meeting was a great success! Finally to Nancy, for two years of inspiring leadership.
And onward we go! Don’t forget to bring something yummy to the Pot Luck at Liz Jaques’ on September 30th. The committee sign-up sheets will be at the meeting, so please consider joining one or two as we need everyone's help. I hope to see you all there!
All the best,
Corn

ANNUAL MEETING:
CHANGING OF THE GUARD
|
|
Lyn Flynn opened the doors to her glorious Westport home where we enjoyed spectacular views of Lake Champlain while enjoying each other's company and listening to committee chairs give an overview of the year. We gave thanks to Nancy for her dedicated leadership, passed the presidential baton to Corn, honored long-term members with servitude awards, and shared the annual cachepot with Barbara Hail and Jennifer Lagor. Attendance was robust, and we all benefitted from generous plant cuttings from Lyn's well-manicured garden. It was a wonderful day, and we missed all those unable to attend. Highlights of our time together through pictures appear below. More photos appear on our

Under the dedicated direction of Barbara Hail, our archives have been successfully transferred from the Adirondack History Museum to the Hand House all within the town of Elizabethtown. Due to our recent move, the Archive Committee requests that members do not drop anything off at our new location yet, but instead, hold any materials until next spring. We are in the process of organizing the files in our new space and developing procedures for adding items to the Archives going forward. Barbara carefully orchestrated the move and thanks to the help of Cindy, Nancy, and other club members, as well as two young men from the Elizabethtown High School and Jim Kinley, Executive Director of the Bruce L. Crary Foundation, we are safely tucked into our new home. More information and photos can be found on our

There are 73 species of native milkweeds in the United States. Many of these species are rare, threatened, and endangered. Monarchs utilize about 30 of these species as host plants with some regularity.
Monarch Watch needs seed donations to continue our restoration efforts. Please use the resources below to see which milkweed seed is needed in your region. These seeds will be grown and plants will be sold or donated back to their ecoregions. For collection instructions, see our
Seed Collecting and Processing
page.
