Photo provided | | | | | | For the ninth year in a row, the Orinda Garden Club assembled holiday wreaths and hung them in numerous locations around Orinda to brighten up the town. Garden club members Shelley Gilligan and Margene Stahle chaired the project. A dozen volunteers worked to decorate and hang the wreaths, observing all COVID-19 precautions. In the past, Boy Scout Troop 237 has assisted with the event, but took a break this year owing to the pandemic.
Cathleen Sodos and Jane Wiser were the first chairs of the wreath committee, and they hang a ceremonial wreath each year at Lake Cascade. The wreaths can be found at the Library Plaza, the Community Center, on the Orinda sign at the intersection of Camino Pablo and Camino Sobrante, on the historic bridge at the end of Orinda Way. It might be subtle, but look for the wreath on the historic Orinda sign in front of the community center. |
