Chairman Dootsie Wilbur, Fauquier and Loudoun Garden Club

Dootsie Wilbur moved at the 1997 spring Annual Meeting that the Garden Club of the Middle Peninsula be invited to become a member club of the Garden Club of Virginia; Helen Murphy seconded; and, when the motion carried unanimously, the Garden Club of the Middle Peninsula was invited to become the 47th member club of the Garden Club of Virginia.

When W. Tayloe Murphy was named Honorary Member of the Garden Club of Virginia at the 1998 Annual Meeting, he remarked, “There is no organization in the Commonwealth of Virginia for which I have more respect or admiration. All of your work, especially your work in restoration, conservation and all the things that the Garden Club does, it does to the highest degree of ethics and expertise. It is a really high honor to receive this recognition and I am delighted to be an honorary member of the Garden Club of Virginia. It will take top billing on my biographical data sheet!”
