A big “Show and Tell” meeting was held on January 29, 2015, at Augusta Stone Presbyterian Church: Bring your drawings, dimensions, team and partners, plant wish list, sign parameters and needs.  This is the big meeting to make our Monarch Waysides glorious!  – Sandy Greene [Sandy’s notes from this meeting are here: M&M!
