What a fabulous meeting the NCA held on September 25th at the Cheverly Community Center. President Godwin welcomed us all and then Evalee Ciuca gave a wonderful inspiration! The meeting proceeded with informational talks by Dr. Colleen Hefferan of the USNArboretum and Scott Aker. The importance of the 5 rain gardens, President Godwin's project, is really astonishing to help decrease financial burden on the Arboretum with their impermiable surfaces.

In addition, all attending were given a wonderful introduction to the Common Good City Farm by Pertula George-Redd, Executive Director of Common Good City Farm along with Urban Grower, Anita Adalja. It is very impressive how much produce the farm grows.
President Godwin also presented a certificate to acknowledgement to Karen O'Meara for completing all the NCA Schools! Three Garden Club's celebrated anniversaries: Capital Hill Garden Club, Goddard Garden Club and Mount Airy Claybreakers Garden Club.
Each of the District Directors gave an image of the future and then there was the discussion on the changes to the Bylaws.
The featured presentation by Barbara Glickman of Acorn Garden Club was fabulous. So many wonderful gardens and parks are in the Washington DC area. Her book quite appropriately titled Capital Splendor is fantastic!
Mount Airy Claybreakers provided 4 beautiful centerpieces to help pull the beautiful autumn day into the community center.
