Club sponsors special day for Madonna Learning Center

The February meeting of the Southwind Garden Club was a special day for the club members and the students at the Madonna Learning Center in Germantown. “The Friendly Frog” was a community outreach program which proved to be a delightful experience for club members and children at Madonna.

Madonna Learning Center has been educating and training children and adults with special needs since 1969. Currently there are approximately 58 children and young adults ranging in age from 5 to 30 years old enrolled in the school and adult programs in the beautiful facility.

The Southwind Club members planned and executed craft and activity stations that included reading about frogs, drawing and coloring pages featuring frogs, interactive “paper plate” ponds with frogs, video on frogs, and painting of a banner. One of the highlights was the line of Southwind Garden Club members performing the Macarena with the students following along with great glee.

Arrangements for the afternoon were in the capable hands of club member Lizbeth Stimac, program chairperson for the club, and a large number of talented committee members. Lizbeth obtained the frog hats for the Club members and students and the hats were certainly a fun part of the event.

The Southwind Garden Club is a member of the Tennessee Federation of Garden Clubs and the National Garden Clubs, Inc.
