Algonquin Garden Club joins in Operation Rebuild Fairdale

The Algonquin Garden Club recently invited Trudy Loomis, Regina Davis and Susan Meyer to be their guests at the District 1 Fall meeting of the Garden Clubs of Illinois luncheon which was held at the Crystal Lake Country Club.

Regina Smola of Davis Junction, Ill., and Susan Meyer of Fairdale, Ill., spoke of the devastation caused by an EF4 tornado which destroyed the town of Fairdale, IL on April 9, 2015.

Trudy Loomis of Rochelle, Ill., became known as "The Plant Lady" and coordinated replanting for Operation Rebuild Fairdale.

The Algonquin Garden Club and the Garden Clubs of Illinois donated money, labor and many perennials to help Fairdale rebuild.
