November 13, 2024.  The program for the month, Trends and news from the Floral Market, focused on the flower industry as experienced by three members of the local Clements Marketplace team, Michael Leverett, Store Manager, Charlie Anthony, son of the owner and grandson of the original owner, Director of Operations and Rhonda Payne, Floral Supervisor. The talk also touched on the locally sourced and hydroponically grown vegetables offered by the produce department. The team donated floral raffle items, the funds to be used for the club's on-going community work.(R.S)
