Awards
The Awards Committee has the delightful task of choosing deserving members as recipients of club awards at the Annual Meeting. Some years the Committee selects candidates for GCA National Awards and/or Zone I Awards, but each year there are Lenox Garden Club awards.
It is a wonderful way of honoring our hard-working members.
