The Holden Beach Beautification Club welcomed Dane Fisher to the April Membership Meeting.  Dane is a horticulturist with an interest in growing plants that are adapted to Holden Beach.  He is currently working on coleus plants adapted to thrive in the sometimes harsh conditions found here.  He is breeding for drought tolerance, full sun, and other conditions that can make it difficult for our microclimate.

New members Marge Doyle, Judy Bayless and Sharon Berezo joined us.  Our hostesses for the meeting were Eve Venters, and Julia Anderson (co-chairs).  They were assisted by JoAnn Burke, and Sharon Butler.

New members Marge Doyle and Judy Bayless are welcomed by Becky Willis.
