60th Anniversary

In 2025 our Garden Club celebrates 60 Years in existence. The 60th Anniversary Committee has been hard at work scheduling events throughout the year, with a complete list of these events is posted in the 2025 Yearbook. Our celebration events started on January 13th with our New Member Social at the Placitas Community Library. On February 24th, Karen Cox hosted the Book Club High Tea Party at Las Placitas Presbyterian Church. The event was well-attended, and some great photos of the event are posted here. The Highway Clean-Up Event was held on March 15th, and coordinated by Cheryl Betterly. Approximately 50 people attended, with pizza, conversation and prizes served up after the clean up was completed. Photos posted here are courtesy of Seth Betterly. As of this posting in late March . . . stay tuned for April dates for the anniversary event planned by the Dinner and a Play Group. Our 60th Anniversary - “Diamond Jubilee Celebration" will finish the year on Wednesday, December 3, 2025 with our Holiday Brunch for all members. It concludes with a formal celebration and dinner at the Prairie Star Banquet Hall on Sunday, December 7, 2025 from 5:30 – 8:30 PM. Tickets will be available next summer for this event. So please "Save the Date" for these events and hopefully you will be able to join us for some of the exciting events throughout the year.
