The MCT Garden Club recently had a farewell gathering for one of our longtime members, Sandy Ceely, a Mill Creek Towne resident, who is moving to Florida to be closer to family. Sandy has been in the club for 50+ years! On behalf of our garden club, Beth Gianone, President of Mill Creek Towne Garden Club, presented an ABCD Award to Sandy Ceely for being such a dedicated, hardworking member of our Mill Creek Towne Garden Club since 1978 serving as Treasurer, Vice President, President, Secretary, Federation Delegate, Roslyn caretaker, and longtime Membership Chairperson, along with a going away gift, as well as an honorary lifetime membership in the Mill Creek Towne Garden Club.

In addition to enjoying our company and delicious food, Beth shared old photos from our albums with pictures of Sandy and the garden club members throughout the years. Past events included holiday parties, luncheons, boat cruises, National Capital Area Federation of Garden Club Flower Shows, an Edible Centerpiece Demonstration by Emily Chiswell, as well as many years of taking care of the Mill Creek Towne entrances! Our garden club was established in 1968, and we also salute Linda Settlemyer, a continually active member serving our club for 50 years! Although it was bittersweet as we bid a longtime member farewell, we will miss Sandy but hope she enjoys spending time with her family in Florida!
