Belmont Club of Women
The Belmont Club of Women held its monthly meeting on Wednesday, April 1, 2026. Our guest speaker was Patrick Carey and his presentation was “Intro to Orchids”. This extraordinary young man is 18 years old and has been raising orchids since the age of 12. He impressed and delighted the club members with his extensive knowledge of orchids; including their history, species native to Virginia, their care, how to propagate them, various hybrids (there are over 150,000 man-made hybrids), reasons behind their various coloring and much more useful information. He currently has over 180 orchid plants and one is almost 100 years old. If taken care of, they can live that long. He passed around a corsage that he made and explained that orchids were considered the “royalty” of corsages. Many questions were asked and Patrick easily provided our members with tips and troubleshooting ideas for their orchid issues.

Civilian Conservation Corps Company 2359
President Franklin D. Roosevelt made a deal with three million young men in 1933. He would pay them $30 monthly, plus room and board, to improve public lands, forests, parks, and respond to other environmental and infrastructure projects in the United States and its territories. The president enacted the deal by executive order. It put forth a “New Deal” to preserve the future of the American landscape and engage the young, unemployed American male of the Great Depression. The families of men in Company 2359 received $25 monthly. The remaining $5 went to the men. Additional benefits included educational and vocational opportunities. Men without high school diplomas could study and get one. The work programs in the field and in the camps were rigorous and well organized to ensure improvements in the men and in the country. “New Deal” programs however, were discontinued in 1942 as World War II swept the globe and captured many Civil Conservation Corps workers in its wake.
