DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOWREGISTRATION BEGINS JANUARY 2\, 2025 \nJoin visual artist Kathy Stark for a special visual presentation about Jacksonville’s parks and preserves featured in her book\, “The Wilderness of North Florida’s Parks” and her recent series of WPA-era-inspired posters. She will share aspects most people don’t know\, personal tips\, and interesting insights into her paintings. Kathy’s book will also be available to purchase\, and she will sign copies after the program. \nA Jacksonville native and resident\, Kathy Stark specializes in watercolor and oil painting. Her favorite subject matter is her natural Florida surroundings\, which she explores by hiking\, kayaking\, canoeing\, mountain biking\, and dog walking. She created a series of large even monumental watercolors of her area’s amazing wild park system for her book and traveling exhibit titled “The Wilderness of North Florida’s Parks.” A unique blend of art and education\, the family-friendly book and exhibit serves as a tribute and guide to the great unspoiled stretches of the North Florida region. Kathy’s work has been collected both privately and corporately and has been shown in museums and galleries in Northeast Florida and beyond. \nKathy attended the Bartram School\, now part of the Bolles School. In 1985\, she graduated from Furman University with a BA in studio arts and then attended the University of Florida for post-baccalaureate studies. \nFollowing college\, Kathy traveled for four years in the Southeast working as set designer\, art director\, and production illustrator for the motion picture industry. Kathy later painted\, sculpted\, and designed for a company creating environments for entertainment attractions\, museums\, and zoos. Twenty years ago\, Kathy resumed her full-time pursuit as a professional fine artist.

SUMMARY:Combined Circles: Blue and Gold Star Markers
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOWJoin Garden Club of Jacksonville and Wildflower Circle member Sam Runyon for a presentation about Blue Star and Gold Star Marker Memorials. \nThe Blue Star Program honors all men and women that serve in the United States Armed Services. This program began with the planting of 8\,000 dogwood trees by the New Jersey Council of Garden Clubs in 1944 as a living memorial to veterans of World War II. In 1945\, the National Council of State Garden Clubs (now National Garden Clubs) adopted this program and began a Blue Star Highway system that covers thousands of miles across the United States\, Alaska\, and Hawaii. Blue Star Memorial Highway Markers were placed along the way. The Blue Star was adopted because it had become an icon in World War II and was seen on flags and banners in homes for sons and daughters away at war as well as in churches and businesses. \nAmerica’s Gold Star Families is a nonprofit organization created to provide support to those who have lost a loved one in service to our country through the United States Armed Forces. Their mission is to offer honor\, hope\, and healing through remembering fallen heroes by coming together. The name Gold Star came from the custom of families of service members hanging a banner called a service flag in the window of their homes. The service flag had a star for each family member in the United States Armed Forces. Blue Stars represented living service members while a Gold Star represented those who had lost their lives. NGC clubs work with Gold Star Families to honor our fallen heroes with Gold Star Markers. \nThe Garden Club of Jacksonville is currently working on refurbishing an existing Blue Star Memorial on Roosevelt Boulevard near Park Street. \nCombined Circles is an occasional program that allows members of garden circles to meet at the Garden Club of Jacksonville for fellowship and camaraderie. \nThis program will be offered in-person at the Garden Club and simultaneously on Zoom. Masks are required for those attending the event in-person to help protect the speaker. \nFree for Garden Club members | $5 for nonmembers \nREGISTER NOW
