The Old Saybrook Garden Club recently inducted three new members, Suzanna Burns, Donna Richmond, and Kim Peace. The club also recognized six members who have been in the club for at least 25 years, including Barbara Maynard (59 years), Ginny Currie (48 years), Norma Dyson (47 years), Gloria Egelhofer (46 years), Barbara Browne (35 years), and Lee Merritt (29 years).

Dorothy Alexander and Lee Merritt were awarded life memberships in the Federated Garden Clubs of Connecticut. Both Lee and Dorothy have been members of the Old Saybrook Garden Club for more than 20 years, have served as president, chaired several committees, and made outstanding contributions to the club. This is the highest honor the club bestows.
