Parkland Garden Club members had a luncheon on May 29, 2024 at Morgan's to honor long-time member Bonnie Keller who is soon relocating out of the area. In her 13 years with the club, Bonnie has served as President, Recording Secretary and as co-chair of the Bus Trip and Butterfly Garden committees. Treasurer Cynthia Dunton made a beautiful floral embroidery picture that was presented to Bonnie along with a gift card to Lehigh Valley Garden Center from the members.
