At 2 p.m., Saturday, Wendy Chappell-Dick will present a musical program of favorite hymns, at the Swiss Community Historical Society's Schumacher's homestead, 8350 Bixel Road, Bluffton.
Hymns are from the Radical Reformation through the local Swiss settlers' immigration and assimilation process, tracing musical influences on Mennonite music from various folk traditions.
The hymn arrangements are done for dulcimer, guitar and vocals, and combine secular songs with religious works of similar influence.
Members of the Bluffton Pandora Area Gardeners will meet at 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 11, at the home of Victoria Zeits for a leaf casting project.

"The castings make good accents to gardens. If you do not want to participate in the mud slinging you can come and watch or take a walk through Victoria’s gardens, they are always interesting to look at.
"Victoria has some different things that she plants and I think that if you look at something before you try it."
