Coming in March: WTGC 2026 Scholarship Breakfast

The West Trenton Garden Club is proud to continue its tradition of supporting the next generation of environmental stewards and plant lovers through our annual Scholarship Program. As we look ahead to Spring, we invite you to join us in both celebrating and contributing to this meaningful effort.

Scholarship Breakfast – March 7, 2026

Mark your calendars! Our Scholarship Breakfast will be held on Saturday, March 7, 2026, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. This event is a key fundraiser that helps fund the scholarships awarded by the Club each year. It’s always a warm and welcoming gathering, filled with delicious food, community spirit, and a fantastic raffle featuring themed baskets.

Tickets will be available for members to pick up at the February club meeting. We kindly ask that ticket money be returned by the March 2 meeting—or earlier, if possible.

And don’t forget: we’ll be collecting new items for the raffle baskets up until the March meeting. NOTE: Please do not bring baskets or raffle items on the day of the breakfast itself, as our hard-working committee needs time to prepare and label everything in advance.

For questions or contributions, please contact Linda Reasoner at lindar75@verizon.net.
