Dixie Gottfried Memorial Gardens

On October 6th, 2008 at 6:30 PM the Eden Homemakers toured the beautiful flower gardens and ponds of Kenneth and Alberta Gottfried at 2005 Township Highway 55, Nevada for their first meeting. The signs in the garden are most enjoyable to read.

Roll call was answered by naming your favorite history teacher. The secretary and treasurers reports were read and approved.
