Valley Garden Club held its annual fundraising luncheon in November at the Mon Valley YMCA. The theme for the program was "A Christmas Welcome" which consisted of creating a front porch and decorating it for the holidays.

Special guests were Haddie Weber, District 10 Director of the Garden Club Federation of Pennsylvania, and Vina McLeod Rudolph, District 10 Assistant Director. A fresh green garland for the door and three fresh green wreaths were created by Mary Jane Martucci. Two urns were brought for each side of the door, one filled with fresh greens, pine cones, plastic apples, and twigs, and the other was an artificial tree, which was decorated and designed by Mardell Page.

The last demonstration was a mailbox swag created by Janice Yeaton. This also could be used as a table centerpiece. It was made from a 3' artificial green garland and decorated with red mesh ribbon, sprayed gold pine cones, plastic apples,  and large Christmas bulbs. Two six-foot artificial trees donated by Evelyn Parent were placed at the
sides of the porch and were decorated by Angie Raitano. All of the designs were enhanced by large red bows, which coordinated with the decorations for the porch.

All items were raffled at the end of the program. Valley Garden Club members prepared all the delicious salads for the luncheon. Gently worn jewelry and handmade craft items along with baked goods were sold. There were six raffle baskets and a 50/50 raffle ticket. Members also enjoyed a Christmas luncheon at the Willow Room in December.
