​
Out of the Box!  
With limited funds but with lots of imagination and creativity, we are planning a summer meeting that showcases local talent and the beauty of our area.
Out of the Bag! 
We’re not providing gift bags.  Instead, we want you to recycle one from a previous Region 15 meeting.  We’re not doing door prizes either, but we will send everybody home with a gift or two. Plus, all the usual things—insect repellent, hand sanitizer, extra pencils or pens, and wrapped candies— will be available in the gardens.
Out of the Bus! 
Our tour gardens are all located quite close to each other and are in very difficult locations for     large busses to maneuver, so we’re doing carpools—a great way to get to know other people as you travel to the homes and gardens of John and Linda Martin, Kirk and Nan Milleman, and Nancy Womack, as well as to the Lake Lure     Flowering Bridge. 

Come See Us!

Regional Meeting Planning Guides
Region 15 Clubs Please Considering Hosting a Summer or Fall Regional Meeting, 
 
Attached are PDF guides for hosting a Summer or Fall regional meeting. If you are considering hosting a regional meeting, these guides can be used to understand the process, as well as the individual tasks and pieces needed for planning and hosting a Summer or Fall event. Hopefully you will find this information useful, and a good guide.
 
As many of you know that have been a part of planning a regional meeting for your club in the past, these meetings are not as difficult to plan as they may first appear, and will be a fun event for your club.  They do require some early planning, and help from a number of club members in order to spread around the task load, but when the event gets there and the regional members arrive for the weekend of events, you will see a lot of appreciation, and hear a lot of thank-you's, which makes the planning and work that you did so worthwhile.
 
In addition, as we spread these Summer and Fall events around the region, it gives each of our regional clubs the opportunity to support the region, which is all of us individually, and helps fund the regional newsletter, The Hem-alina, we all enjoy, which is the primary expense for the region. And please do remember that The Hem-alina and  region does not have any other funding or income other than auctions at these meetings, and the generous donations made by many clubs within the region. Please do consider hosting a Summer or Fall meeting in the coming years.

Attached are two MS. Word files you can print out and use. If you have more questions, need guidance, or help getting the process started, please contact our regional president or the regional meetings liaison...
