SPRING TEA 2023

Volunteers Are Needed!

Volunteers are needed!!

Saturday March 24th (setup) and Saturday March 25th 2023


It's time to turn our thoughts to our annual SPRING TEA which promises to be even better than last year as we return to the Greensburg Garden Center for the location of the event! 


The Spring Tea is a big fundraiser and we need lots of help to make the event a success. We are expecting around 70  guests this years which means  lots of Volunteers are needed 

Our committee chairperson is looking to sign up  volunteers for this fun event. 


Calling all who wish to decorate a table. Let your imagination go wild! The tea offers a chance to show off your favorite dishes, flatware and a centerpiece to 'ooh-and-aah' about! Decorate a table yourself or team up with a friend or two.


We also need treats such as scones and cookies, as well as tea sandwiches for the event. 

Calling all home chefs and bakers to contribute a delicious desert or sandwiches for this popular fundraiser.


Volunteers are needed to donate raffle baskets. Choose a theme, create a basket and drop it off at the GGC office. Please And Thank you!


Volunteers are also needed to help on the day of the event with various duties that will keep things running smoothly. 


Please call the office today and sign up as a volunteer. 

Remember: many hands make light work.


We are looking forward to seeing YOU at this years wonderful 2023 Spring Tea.

Christmas Sale - 2023

Volunteers Are Needed!

The GGC Board is looking back at what worked, while looking ahead in ways to improve the 2023 Christmas sale.  People working the volunteer workshops in September, October and November have noted that they have not been well attended. There is a core group of helpers that persevere through the season, but more volunteers are needed and would be much appreciated.


It has also  been noted that some people don’t feel they have the skill to help or that an hour of time won’t make a difference – But it does! If ten people give one hour each, that is TEN HOURS of much-needed volunteer time.


In an effort to prepare more efficiently for the 2023 holiday sale, which is one of GGC’s biggest fund raisers for the year, the volunteer committee is going to schedule several ‘crafting get-together’s’ on a more regular basis.


The committee is considering a meetup every 4 – 6 weeks with a specific focus on making one item at each session. It has also been suggested to have a ‘make one-take one’ crafting meetup. This will be a fun time making a Christmas craft or ornament and creating a second to take home with the volunteer.


These workshops will save time and give GGC a step-up on the minutia of the holiday season in autumn. By spreading out the craft preparations we hope to be ready for the final rush in September, October and November for the sale.


Also, do you have an idea for a Christmas craft sale item? Please let us know! We are open to all ideas in an effort to keep the sale fresh for our holiday shoppers.


Volunteer crafting gatherings will be announced when scheduled. If you are interested in being involved or have an idea please feel free to contact us.


A big thank you to any and all who helped make our Christmas Sale a success this year—it does take a village! In regard to that fact, we are requesting decorations of items for specific creations we are planning for the 2023 sale.

  • Saucers or small plates—even child size. Preferably printed but plain can be used also. Vintage look is a plus!
  • Mini pine trees—any color, but we do have lots of green.
  • Small figurines (animals, people, snowmen, etc.)
  •  Frames—any size but small are mostly needed for this
    activity. Ornate is good, even ones without glass can
    be used.
  • Candle holders with round flat tops, any size, especially
    small.
  • Glass Oui yogurt containers, small or medium clear
    glass vases with at least 3-5” opening. Small/medium glass cloches would be welcome but these are hard to come by and even harder to give up!
  • Ornate beads and knobs, 3/4” to 1 1/2” in diameter. These will be glued on top (bottom) of vases to give a finished look.
  • Tiny dried flowers or pinecones.
    If you are disposing of extra Christmas items or ornaments, please throw them our way. We can either find them a good home as is or turn them into something completely different. Thank you for helping in this endeavor!
