The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Feb. 16, 1967—Page 5 Club members elect officers In keeping with the current rage of executing beautiful an tiqued flower arrangements from permanent flowers, the members of the Town and Country Garden Club thor oughly enjoyed a workshop last Wednesday at which they learned many techniques of treating artificial plastic flow ers. Mrs. Warren Cousins and Mrs. Walter Cousins were pro gram chairman and assisted Mrs. Jack Jennings, workshop leader, in helping the members treat their flowers and make various types of arrangements in containers of their own in dividual choice. Many made beautiful modem versions of Flemish florals. In the auth entic version of the Flemish arrangement, only fresh flow ers are used. Mrs. Jenkins and the pro gram chairman had previously prepared five different types of arrangements which they displayed in the lovely home of Mrs J. R. Rinehart where the workshop was held. Mrs. Clay ton Smith served as co-hostess While refreshments were serv ed, Mrs. Jenkins told the mem bers about the various methods of making antiqued flowers and furnished formulas. She ex plained that since some of the methods required more time than others, the quickest meth od would be employed that af ternoon. During the business session, Mrs. J. R. Rinehart, president, presided. New officers were elected as follows: Mrs. J. R. Rinehart, president; Mrs. Rich ard Lominick Jr., vice presi dent; Mrs. Nield Gordon, treas urer; Mrs. Eddie Rodelsperger, secretary; and Mrs. Warren Cousins, publicity chairman. Most of the business was dis pensed with in order to con serve time for the workshop. Mrs. Ila Mae Brehmer was welcomed as a new member.
