Something to
Remember By Honey Barnekoff
(Submitted by It might be wise to carry a penny in
your pocket while working in your yard.
A couple of weeks ago, I was stung by a bee and a hornet while working
in the garden. My arm swelled up, so I
went to the doctor. The clinic gave me
cream and an antihistamine. The next
day the swelling was progressively worse, and had become infected. By this time I needed an antibiotic, so back
to the doctor I go. The doctor told me
that the next time I get stung, put a penny on the bite for 15 minutes. That night, my niece was stung by two
bees. I looked at the bite and it had
started to swell, so I taped a penny to her arm for fifteen minutes. The next morning there was no sign of the
bite. Soon, I was out gardening again. I was
stung twice again by a hornet on my hand. I thought, here I go again to the doctor
for an antibiotic treatment, and then remembered about the pennies. I promptly got my money out, and taped two
pennies to my bites. The pennies immediately took the sting out of the bites.
The next morning I could only see the
spot where the hornet had stung me. No
redness, no swelling. My friend, in
the meantime, had also gotten stung.
Again the penny, and again we could not even tell where she had been
stung. The doctor said the copper in
the penny counteracts the bite. It definitely works! |

A
frog the size of a bowling ball (10 pounds and 16 inches long), with heavy
armor and teeth, lived among dinosaurs millions of years ago -- intimidating
enough that scientists who unearthed its fossils dubbed the beast Beelzebufo,
or Devil Toad. |

I. Rita called meeting to order and requested Activity Reports:
A. Recording Secretary (Marcia):
Previous meeting minutes accepted with correction to date on second page header.
B. Treasurer Report (Pat Vassos):
Pat was absent but balance in treasury was previously reported to Marcia - $591.32.
A discussion ensued about reasons for decrease in funds.
C. Display Garden (Gloria and Joan):
Joan reported that the mulch has been applied. Garden has been put to bed.
D. Shed Maintenance/Victory Garden Plot (Margaret):
Margaret was absent. Marcia agreed to take over supervision of plot 198, with the caveat that she be allowed to perhaps put in a couple personal tomato plants. Joan said that the next time plot assignment/renewal forms are distributed, I will need to renew the Garden Club’s request for plot 198.
E. Library (Judy):
1. Judy reported that in the new “Garden Glories” Magazine, there was a section about special plantings for public areas which could be applied to our Display Garden. She read the article to us.
2. Judy said she was a member of the SBF Welcoming Committee, and suggested that we create an 8x10 flyer (using wording from our craft show flyer) to be inserted in the packets given to new residents. Joan provided Judy with a copy of the flyer used at the craft show. (Rita has the master which was created in “Publisher” software.)
3. Judy mentioned that The Garden Clubs of America has a website. Joan will add the link to our website.
F. Website Updates (Joan):
1. Joan loaded December’s minutes and updated the member roster.
2. One of the comments made by a visitor to one of our fall meetings was that it would be nice to have a chart indicating which flowers are blooming in each season. Joan will work on this and add it to our website.
G. Refreshments (Carol):
Carol was absent from the meeting today. Patt is scheduled to bring treats in February, so asked if we still wanted to do the brunch at February’s meeting. See item II. Old Business, for details.

H. Events/Speakers (Patt L, Joan):
Patt reported that she sent a note to the bee expert at the Botanic Garden, but hasn’t heard back from him.
I. Volo Bog/Moraine Hills Liaison (Bob):
Bob was absent from today’s meeting, but Marcia announced that the Volo Bog Winter Fest was scheduled for Sunday, January 8th from noon to 4:00, and mentioned some of the planned highlights of the event.
J. Botanic Garden Liaison (Patt):
1. Patt informed us that the Bonsai Demo. will be the 28th and 29th of January.
2. She mentioned that they are looking for volunteers to help take down the LED lights from the trees. They used to just cut them down and dispose of them, but since they are now using LED, they are being saved and reused.
II. Old Business
A. Potluck:
Carol has had an emergency and must be out of town for our potluck. Since she was the organizer, and since the potluck was scheduled so close to our brunch, it was agreed that we postpone the potluck until perhaps March.
B. February 2nd Brunch:
1. We agreed to have an abbreviated meeting prior to brunch.
2. Judy F. asked if we wanted to cater the main course for our brunch as we did at last year’s potluck, but all agreed we probably shouldn’t do it for this.

3. Patt passed around a signup sheet for everyone to indicate what they plan to bring to the brunch. Since there were only eight people attending this meeting, an email will be distributed to other members for their offering. A revised sheet will be distributed as people send in their reply.
III. New Business
Rita suggested that we create a permanent backup list for club officers. The volunteers are:
Meeting Facilitator: Patt Secretary: Gloria Bog Liaison and Club Treasurer: Marcia
Refreshments: Judy F. Botanic Garden: Joan
That is all so far. It will behoove each officer to contact their backup whenever they will not be attending the meeting.
IV. Open Discussion
1. Rita has houseplants that need a new home. Marcia suggested that she hold them until the spring plant sale.
2. Rita also announced that early voting will be starting in February. If you need to know who is running in your district, or want to vote by mail, check http://countyclerk.lakecountyil.gov and select the tab “Voter Power.” She informed us that the district and precinct changes will not be effective until November; therefore, if you have a question or complaint prior to Nov., you must say you’re in the old precinct. The County Clerk phone number is 847-377-2410.
3. Marcia reminded everyone that effective Jan. 1, electronics will no longer be picked up by the garbage trucks. Some tips were given by the group:
- CFL bulbs can be taken to Home Depot for recycling;
- SWALCO has set up some drop-off sites: Gurnee for misc. items, including drugs; Buffalo Grove for electronics; January 9th there will be a drop-off in Round Lake on Townline Road. All locations are listed on their website http://www.swalco.org/
V. Calendar for 2012:
Club Brunch: February 2nd
Club Potluck: Postponed until March
