“The Cress Creek Garden Club has been in existence since 1975, and we have given scholarships ever since. We work in the community, making donations to different charitable groups. We also plant many gardens in the community, but the most important thing is the scholarships,” said Barbara Williams, Cress Creek Garden Club President.
On Friday, the Cress Creek Garden Club hosted a luncheon at the Naperville Municipal Center where they awarded scholarships to 11 students. Recipients included six students who had attended schools in either Districts 203 or 204 and a Benet Academy graduate. In total, $20,000 was awarded.
