Eve Venters is presented with a bird feeder in appreciation of leading the program by Second Vice President Cecelia Weston and President Gayle Todd.

For the last regular meeting of the year, the Holden Beach Beautification Club enjoyed a presentation by one of our own!  Eve Venters led a hands-on fruit carving demonstration.  Members who wished to, carved beautiful floral designs into watermelons at Eve’s direction.  Eve was also the hostess for the meeting and showcased several carved melons, celery roses and vegetable roses along with a “palm tree” made of pineapples and palm fronds!
