Clare Schelhammer and Lynda schermerhorn, Co-Presidents 2025-2027
Spring All Year
As your club’s first co-presidents, we certainly feel a sense of responsibility and enthusiasm as we begin our term. our theme “Spring All Year” signifies continuous growth and renewal as our membership maintains our high standard of excellence all year long. Spring is more than just a season—it’s a mindset, a way of seeing the world with heightened energy, possibility, and excitement.
And the next two years will be exciting as we begin with our 2025 Golden Jubilee Celebration, marking 50 years of progress, community, friendship, and creativity. Many events and celebrations are planned throughout the year in honor of our anniversary, including our very special December luncheon organized by our past presidents.
Also, our renowned Butterfly Garden, devastated by a water main break, will finally be restored to being the beautiful landmark that our community has enjoyed for decades.
In addition to the many, many ongoing activities, we have already been planning for our 2026 fundraiser, an affair that allows us to continue contributing to our local community. We are a very busy club!
Thank you for your trust in us to guide you through the next two years. We promise to keep a “Spring” in our steps.
Clare and Lynda

Xeriscape gardenS can be beautiful!
Spalding Garden Club took the proceeds of our Candlelight Christmas Tour in 2015 and created a beautiful enhancement to the community post office by planting a xeriscape garden and improving a much needed area of our city (see before and after photos at this link). With the proceeds of our 2017 tour we planted a Native Garden at the Dunwoody Nature Center, along with funding for a walkway to connect several buildings on their campus. Spalding Garden Club continues to maintain the Post Office garden, receiving new enhancements in 2023.
