Activities Overview:
Most meetings were held at St. John’s Lutheran Church with lunch catered
by Cottage Gourmets. Our summer plantings included our rings and gardens in
town, at the park and the new city cemetery. Rings were filled with greens by
the end of October. We had a booth at the Annandale Business Expo and took a
trip to the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul. A revision of the AIC Bylaws
and Guidelines was passed in October, 2018. Membership Directory update packets
were distributed in the fall. An AIC brochure with member information was
created. Two $1000 scholarships were presented to Annandale High School seniors.
Funds were raised by greeting card sales, meat raffles, the August meeting
event, and dues. Dues are $25 annually.
