What will Naples Garden Club look like in 10 years? The board went through a process this fall to decide just that. The result, “Vision 2027”!
Will our club get larger? Will our primary focus be on fundraising or programs? How will we find our leaders?
Read below this vision for our club that will continue to be fine-tuned over the years as part of the Governance process.
In 2027, the Naples Garden Club will:
