If you decide to share information about the RGC page to family and friends... ensure that you say it's the "Riverview Garden Club of Florida."

Why, because there's also a Riverview Garden Club which is located in NJ. And there's another fb page titled "Riverview Gardens," which is located in WI.

Note: If you do a Goggle search you will find two pages with the same titled "Riverview Garden Club of Florida," one is private (for active members) and the other is public.
