A new paraplegic raised bed has been built and donated to the Mandarin Garden Club by future Eagle Scout Aadi Shah. Consultant Mitchell Reedy tested it out for the final adjustments. The bed will be more comfortable for those patrons sitting in a walker or wheelchair. The Mandarin Garden Club appreciates the amazing gifts they have received from Scout Troop 321.
The Mandarin Garden Club held its annual Plant Sale on May 3 and 4. It was a huge success and during the sale, children stopped at the Kids Planting Booth and were able to pick out either seeds or a plant to put in a pot so they could watch it grow at home. The club’s next sale will be a Clothing and Jewelry Sale on Aug. 2 – 3.
The Mandarin Garden Club collects many different items to benefit the community: Old eyeglasses and cases are donated to the Lions Club; nonperishable items and hygiene products are collected and delivered to the Mandarin Food Bank; old cell phones are collected and disposed of properly; pop tops from any can are donated to the Ronald McDonald House; and retired flags are presented to the Mandarin Community Club for their annual flag ceremony to ensure their proper disposal.
