I joined the Garden of Friendship on March 23, 2001. My oh my I had no idea what a wonderful association I was about to make. I was just overwhelmed with support, friendship, and kindness. It is just amazing that such a group of wonderful people should all be found at the same place. Please click on my proud membership plaque to visit the Garden of Friendship.

I am one of the Garden Keepers at the Garden of Friendship. The Garden Keepers keep the Garden running smoothly with a lot of behind the scenes administrative and decision making efforts. I am very proud to associate myself with this wonderful group of selfless people.

The Garden of Friendship has also afforded me the opportunity to spread goodwill and make new friends. I belong to four Committees at the Garden.

I am the Committee Leader for the Special Friends Committee which makes sure that all of the members have a friend and someone who will always be there to help them or at least brighten their day.

I am the "Judge" for the Grievance Committee, which handles any disputes or problems within the Garden. There are two "Jurors" as well and all situations are handled in a private and caring way.

I also belong to the Special Occasions Committee. What's with me and things that are special? Well I just really enjoy making people feel good, loved, and cared about. The Special Occasions Committee designs beautiful pages for birthdays, anniversaries and other memorable occasions of its members. I hope to always help make people have really nice memories.

I was honored to be invited to join the Helping Hands Committee. This Committee assits new members in getting acquainted with the Garden. The first week or so can be very overwhelming for new members and this Committee provides new members with one person to contact if they have questions or concerns.

Please go to the next page to see the beautiful gifts I have received from Garden of Friendship members ... like I said, what a wonderful group of people.
