From Our President
Nancy Englund
Every month, the President of the Board heads our general meeting and leads off with a personal message. The monthly President’s Message provides insight into the vision and goals of our club leader, who guides the organization for two terms.
The message is always informational and often inspirational, and we publish them here throughout the year.
Come to one of our regular meetings to hear the President’s Message in person! Meetings are held on the second Friday of the month, September – May, at 9:30 am in Laguna Presbyterian Church, Tankersley Hall, 415 Forest Avenue.

President’s Message, October 2020
Welcome, October! Autumn has arrived, and cooler temperatures are finding their way to us every passing day. And yet, Laguna Beach is not as we expect it. Many of us are spending more time in our homes than we would prefer, and we miss seeing many of our friends in-person.
President’s Message, September 2020
It’s September already, and Laguna Beach Garden Club is ready to start a new year of exciting guest speakers, meetings, and club activities. I am thrilled and humbled to be your president for the next two years. As you know from past newsletters, my focus as president is “Education in the Garden” — supporting and providing gardening education for our members and the community.
President’s Message, August 2020
Happy Summer, everyone! I send my greetings and best wishes to all of you and hope you are enjoying these warm days and sunny, blue skies. As you know from our June newsletter, “Education in the Garden” is my focus for the club for the next two years. And, “education” and the “garden” are my personal working themes this summer.
