5. Nomination and Election of officers: Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer and Board Member-at-large = 5 positions.
6. Start Up fund. Recommend $200 pesos per person to fund our empty treasury. Donations will be handled in person and online by the Vallarta Botanical Gardens.
7. Sketches for Malec๓n, pro bono. The City has offered many bougainvilleas for our planting at no charge.
This is only the ground floor of the organization. Ideas relating to the garden club will be discussed. No off-topics. The Emiliano Zapata organization of the Parque and the local Ecological group will be encouraged to participate. Locals in Puerto Vallarta are urged to attend and offer their views.
The Puerto Vallarta Garden Club will work with any and all other organizations, including country-wide. The goals are the same: to develop Puerto Vallarta as a beautiful floriferous city, which will draw visitors worldwide and make it more desirable for locals and other full-timers.
