Annual member show and tell

Meeting Date Thu, Aug 14, 2003 7:00 PM - Thu, Aug 14, 2003 9:00 PM

is the fifth meeting of the year. Have you ever sat next to someone at a PPWGS meeting and not know them. Did you wonder if they had a pond, koi or raccoon. Do you have a construction story to tell. This meeting is for you! Club member Water Garden Show and Tell is planned for the August meeting. Select 5 or 6 pictures that show your water garden features. Maybe how you built your waterfall or filter. Send your pictures to Ron Bissonnette as digital files. Ron will put together a slide show and when your pictures are shown, you can introduce your pond.

The Pikes Peak Water Garden Society meetings are held every 2nd Thursday from April to September.  Most meetings start at 7:00 PM and wrap up around 9:00 to 9:30 PM.

This year our meetings will once again be held at the Mountain View Church of Christ located at 1080 East La Salle Street.  This is at the west end of Constitution Avenue on the southwest corner.
