Closing his presentation, he
showed the group how to make
a beautiful spring wreath using
a circular grapevine wreath by
tying stiff ribbon made into a bow
and tied with wire, using artificial
spring flowers and butterflies.
The end result was truly artistic.
He had each member of the club
draw a number when they came in,
and he called the winning number
to receive the wreath he just made.
Nancy Nelson was the winner.
