You can have fresh, local,organic produce delivered to your neighborhood for pick up weekly through this program; AND you are supporting our local farmers. Items change as the seasons progress.

New neighbors?
The Semiahmoo Ladies Club is a welcoming place for new ladies in our community to meet others and learn more about their new neighborhood.
Please consider inviting them to our next luncheon.
If they are purchasing a home, we receive that information from the SRA, and we send them a welcome packet about our club.
If they are renters, we have no way to let them know about us. You can help by emailing their name and address to Hazel Chausse, our membership chair. She will then send them a welcome packet.
