Lois Perry of Brant Beach became the Garden Club of Long Beach Island's new president for 2023-24 at the club's annual luncheon on June 7. Perry has been a member of the club for 12 years, serving in many capacities including the Intergenerational Youth Group at Beach Haven School, recording secretary on the executive board, member of the bylaws committee, co-chair of the Garden Tour and chair of homes on the Holiday House Tour.

"Presently," said Perry, ‘I am looking forward to the Outdoor Living and Garden Tour on June 19. We’ll be looking into special nooks and crannies of local gardens, broadening our understanding of all LBI has to offer – a delightful experience for our members and our patrons."

Outgoing president Michele Farias congratulated Perry at her thank-you luncheon for club board and special committee members.

Proceeds for the Outdoor Living and Garden Tour go toward the garden club's environmental and ecological projects, college scholarships for area students, services for seniors and schoolchildren, and the practice of good gardening on LBI and the nearby mainland.
