A certificate of appreciation from the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service was awarded to longtime Lake Oroville Area Garden Club member, Gwen Boynton, right, by Ilene Herringer, LOAGC Chair of the USDA Penny Pines Conservation Program. Boynton was honored at the November meeting for her volunteer service, positions as past treasurer and past Penny Pines Chairperson. Her name will be placed on a Penny Pines plantation of about 350 seedlings to be planted in the Dixie Fire burn scar. Objectives of the LOAGC include conservation and civic beautification.
How to submit a snapshot
Snapshots, reader-submitted photos of community events, are published Monday. They may include service projects, guest speakers at club meetings, awards being presented or kids doing school projects. Just make sure there are people in the photo — no more than 12 — and keep it current.
Send a high-resolution JPG with a paragraph explaining the content of the photo: who (in left-to-right order with last names), what, where, when and why to [email protected]. Non-digital submissions will not be accepted at this time.
We can’t accept photos about businesses, private events or those adorable pet photos.
