THE CENTERPIECE OF THE CELEBRATION IS A CENTENNIAL GIFT OF $100,000 TO BE AWARDED TO A GARDEN OR HORTICULTURAL PROJECT TO COMMEMORATE OUR CENTENNIAL YEAR.THROUGHOUT THE 2015-2016 FISCAL YEAR WE DESIGNED AND IMPLEMENTED A PROCESS TO SELECT THE RECIPIENT OF THE GIFT. THE SOURCES OF THE FUNDS WERE VARIED, LARGELY THE RESULT OF INDIVIDUAL DONATIONS AND OF FUND RAISING EFFORTS BY THE CLUB. WE RESEARCHED DIFFERENT POTENTIAL GARDEN AND HORTICULTURAL PROJECTS AND VENUES THROUGHOUT THE SEATTLE AREA; ULTIMATELY, WE INVITED FOUR COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR THE SINGLE $100,000 GRANT. ALL FOUR ENTITIES WERE EVALUATED BY MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY PROJECTS AND CENTENNIAL COMMITTEES. SITE VISITS WERE MADE, AND FINANCIAL VIABILITY AND MAINTENANCE RESOURCES WERE EVALUATED. EACH OF THE FOUR ORGANIZATIONS PRESENTED WRITTEN MATERIALS, PLANS, SCHEMATICS AND THEN MADE THEIR CASE ION BEFORE THE ENTIRE CLUB AT A SPECIAL APRIL, 2016 MEETING. THEREAFTER, THE SEATTLE GARDEN CLUB VOTED TO GIVE OUR CENTENNIAL GIFT TO THE THREE PARTNERS WHO MANAGE THE WASHINGTON PARK ARBORETUM: THE ARBORETUM FOUNDATION, THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON BOTANICAL GARDENS AND THE SEATTLE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT. THIS GIFT WILL ESTABLISH A SUMMER GARDEN AT THE AZALEA WAY SOUTH POND LOCATED IN THE WASHINGTON PARK ARBORETUM.
