Westlake Garden Club celebrates the Metroparks

The Westlake Garden Club invites you to attend its annual "Fête des Fleurs" fundraiser luncheon on Wednesday, Sept. 28, at Westwood Country Club in Rocky River. The featured speaker will be Brian Zimmerman, CEO of Cleveland Metroparks, Ohio’s oldest park district encompassing more than 23,000 acres with 18 reservations, eight golf courses, six nature centers, the 183-acre Cleveland Zoo – home to more than 2,000 animals – and more.  Brian will discuss the importance of the Metroparks to Northeastern Ohio, recent enhancements, programs under development and his vision for the 2017 centennial year and beyond.

Doors open at 10:30 a.m. to view the gorgeous raffle baskets and to visit the Bake Shoppe. A delicious lunch will be served at noon and the program begins at 1:00 p.m. The basket raffle and awarding of door prizes follow.
