Literacy

The Chartley Garden Club believes in childhood literacy programs. Every year we donate funds or items to the Norton Public Library. Please bring your small children to see two new additions to the Library's Children's Room Collection.

Growing Vegetable Soup and How a Seed Grows

These are interactive items that combine literacy with hands-on activity.    2005-2006

Food and Items for the Needy

Continue to bring in food and other items for donations to the food pantry. Members discussed at the January 2006 meeting that we should make it a regular practice to bring donations to every meeting. They continue to need items such as toilet paper, toothpaste, and of course, non-perishable food items (canned or boxed).

Area Nursing Homes

The Chartley Garden Club members donate needed clothing items to area nursing homes throughout the year.

Veterans

The Chartley Garden Club was recognized this year (2006) by the American Legion Post in Norton for taking care of the Veteran's Memorial in the center of Norton. Each year we make wreaths that are placed in the center.
