The Wensday Garden Club meeting was a wonderful success with eight members in attendence. Mr. Dale Pruitt brought leftover scews and nuts for anyone who needed them, which was very thoughtful! The group discussed mulch and the best way to keep roses from drooping.

NOTICE 426. The Association must correct the record. The photographic evidence in question was taken on March 15, 1992, precisely one week after the Christmas lights were archived. The hydrangea bush, referenced by the Dobrowskis, was not planted until the spring of 1995, as verified by the garden club ledger. The site map, while showing some age, remains the authoritative document. I will be laminating it.

FRANNY: Laminating the crayon won't make it true, Bev. That site map has a picnic table where the shed should be.
FRANK: The hydrangea bush came from Mrs. Pelletier's yard in '94, not '95. She gave it to you at the Arbor Day potluck.
FRANNY: Which was in '93, dear, the year it rained so much Mr. Halvorsen ran out of pages in his logbook.
FRANK: That was '92. And the Christmas lights were taken down January 8th, not the 6th. I have the receipt for the storage box.
FRANNY: You keep receipts for everything but never find them when you need them.
FRANK: I have it right here.
FRANNY: That's all. FRANK: It isn't.Hyper

NOTICE 427. The Association has reviewed the Dobrowskis' latest assertion and finds it erroneous. The receipt for the storage box is immaterial; the garden club ledger, which remains the authoritative source, lists the lights as 'archived' on January 6th. Mrs. Pelletier’s hydrangea bush was indeed presented at an Arbor Day event, but that event was in 1995, not '93 or '94. I have the program. It is in the closet. The picnic table on the site map is a symbolic representation of the common gathering area, not a literal cartographic feature. Lamination will proceed as scheduled.

FRANNY: Bev, the program in the closet is the one from the '93 bake sale, not Arbor Day. It has a frosting stain in the shape of a squirrel. FRANK: The ledger is wrong. The lights were down January 8th. I have the receipt right here, dated the 7th for the box, and the work was done the next day. FRANNY: You keep saying you have the receipt but it's still in your other cardigan pocket from last winter. FRANK: It's in the desk. And the hydrangea bush was definitely '94 because Mrs. Pelletier brought it over in her station wagon the day after the ice storm. FRANNY: Which was '93, Frank. FRANK: That's not the point. FRANK: The picnic table isn't symbolic, it's where Dale's water feature is now. You can't laminate over a mistake.
FRANNY: That's all. FRANK: It isn't.Hyper
