As we prepare to celebrate Patio Planters’ 80th Birthday on November 1, I’m delighted to share a special look back at our history. Thanks to Janice Foulks, I have copies of letters written by members and past presidents for our 50th Anniversary celebration. Over the next few months, I’ll feature a few of these wonderful memories in each issue of The Punch (see page 5 July edition).

I’d also love to hear from our current members. What inspired you to join Patio Planters? What do you enjoy most about being a member? Please send a brief response to admin@patioplanters.net.

While I may not be able to include every submission in The Punch, I will post all of your responses on our website so everyone can enjoy them.

Thank you for all you do to make Patio Planters such a special organization.

Kirk Guidry
Vice President, Patio Planters of the Vieux Carré
