Kite Girl Celebrates her 31st Birthday

“The Kite Girl celebrated her birthday with members of the Avalon Garden Club. She was commissioned and donated to the Borough of Avalon and dedicated 31 years ago by the Club. She has greeted residents and visitors alike as they enter Avalon on 30th Street ever since. Due to Covid-19 regulations, her 30th Birthday party was postponed until 2021, but on Tuesday, June 15 this milestone was celebrated. Founded in 1976, the Avalon Garden Club has been promoting the beautification of the Boro through planting on Dune Drive Islands, Parks and Gardens, as well as Public Building sites, and the Business District newly installed planters”.

The AGC held a successful Yard Sale Saturday, May 8 to raise funds for the Club. It was the 2nd fundraiser for the Club. It was held at the 39th St “Greenhouse” following Covid restrictions. Funds raised help defray the costs associated with the beautification of Avalon Islands, Parks & Gardens.

Using fresh boxwood greens, armed with garden shears, they cut and assembled, creating their holiday tree to personally decorate themselves at a later time. Wearing masks and maintaining social distancing didn’t keep Club Members from getting involved in this project, and having some fun. To allow for maximum participants, the workshop was held over 2 days, Nov 17 & 18.
