The Garden Club of Auburn was organized by Mrs. Donald (Betty) Button in September 1955. Betty called a group of her friends together who shared a mutual interest in gardening and the Auburn Garden Club was born. Its purpose then and now is to stimulate interest in and to spread knowledge about flowers and gardening. Mrs. Button's love of gardening was understandable - her father was the originator of another of Auburn's institutions - Lowe's Greenhouse.

Garden Club meets at the Town Hall on the 4th Wednesday of most months at 7:30 p.m. There are 20 active members with Pat Petrich (440-543-8514) and Linda Martell (543-9095) sharing Presidential duties. Linda Martell is Secretary and Debby Piraino is Treasurer. There are two hostesses per month who bring a light refreshment to share. Dues are $8.00 per year. Please Join Us.

For information on joining or attending a meeting , call Nancy Parker at 543-8297 or Susan Plavcan at 543-7028

Every May the Garden Club weeds, cleans up, and plants annuals at various buildings and signs in the Township including the Town Hall, the Administration Building, and the Museum.

Cub Scout Pack 101
When a boy reaches 7 years of age, he is eligible to join a Cub Scout Pack. Boys ranging in age from 7 to 10, or first through 5th grades, are invited to join Pack 101.

Scouting began February 8, 1910 and was chartered by Congress in 1916. The goal of Scouting is to build character, train a boy in the responsibilities of participating in citizenship and to develop personal fitness. Worthy goals!

Fourth and fifth grade scouts are called Webelos and participate in a more advanced program - getting the child ready for Boy Scouting. To learn more about Cub Scouting, go to www.4profs.com/pack101


Boy Scout Troup 101

What do Archeology, Archery, Atomic Energy, Public Speaking, Weather, Surveying, Stamp Collecting, Radio or Wood Carving have in common? Those are just a few of the many merit badges your son may choose to work on. The adventures and the learning experiences of wilderness survival, life saving, aviation or swimming merit badges enrich the whole family.

Boy Scout Troop 101 had a very long and proud history. It was one of the older troops in the State - 39 years of continuous running at the end of last year - and had produced many Eagle Scouts. These proud Eagle Scouts are listed below along with the year in which they earned their rank.

We need a few good people to step up and help get this Troop back on track. The rewards of Scouting to a boy and his family far outweigh the time a parent may put into the program.

Please call Dan Valvoda at 543-8118

Troop 101 Eagle Scouts

The Eagle Award is the highest award of Scouting and is attained by only 2 of every 100 boy scouts. One of the requirements of earning the Eagle rank is to plan, develop, and give leadership to others in a service project helpful to one's school, community or religious institution.

Auburn has benefited over the years with many community improvements donated by young men in pursuit of Eagle rank. Some of the projects completed are the sign in front of the Auburn Volunteer Fire Department, the signs welcoming one to Auburn, the signs for the Town Hall, Museum and Administration Buildings. The Auburn Community Church benefited with the addition of a front porch on the parsonage, much needed drainage work to keep the lower level of the church dry, carpeting and a new outbuilding. Geauga Park District's Beartown got steps for their sledding hill and benches. There have been playgrounds constructed and trees planted.
