Files are in chronological order.","The first meeting of  Falls Church Garden Club  was held in\n        Madison School Auditorium on Friday, April 21, 1950 with 20 people in attendance. A planning\n        committee was appointed, met within days, and presented a “standard garden club constitution\n        with a few alterations” to the May membership meeting. According to Article II of the\n        Constitution the objective of the Club is to “stimulate knowledge and interest in gardening\n        and horticulture and to promote horticultural improvements in the vicinity.” Records show\n        that the Executive Committee and Club each met monthly and presented a Fall Garden and\n        Flower Show annually. From 44 club members in 1950, the club membership rose to 161 in\n        December 1951 and waxed and waned through the years. In memory of past presidents, books on\n        garden-related subjects were purchased and presented to Mary Riley Styles Public Library.\n        Annual dinners and picnics were always a part of the club’s activities. Tours of member’s\n        gardens and regional gardens occurred regularly.","A box and envelope of Falls Church Garden Club Yearbooks (Series 9) can be found in FCHR\n          compact shelving at VaC 635.06 F. This grouping is in generally better condition and more\n          complete than the Yearbooks in Box 3 but is missing Yearbooks from 1984 and 2005. It is\n          quite possible that Yearbooks were not assembled those years. ","There are two subject file folders on Falls Church Garden Club containing flyers and\n          booklets for various Annual Flower \u0026 Garden Shows, newspaper clippings, and other\n          miscellaneous items generally all dated from 1950-1999.","Most records are from 1950-1970 except  The Seedling  which is\n        complete through 2006 and a few issues each year from 2008 to 2011. The  Yearbooks  are through 2003 but many years are missing.

","Carol DeLong was a prominent Falls Church citizen and politician who contributed\n        significantly to the development of the City of Falls Church. Carol DeLong was born in\n        Newark, New Jersey, on June 25, 1930, and graduated from The Women's College of New Jersey\n        (Rutgers University) with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1952. She moved to Pullman,\n        Washington, to pursue a master's degree in organic chemistry at Washington State University.\n        In 1960, she and her family moved to the City of Falls Church. She served as president of\n        the Madison School PTA in 1969-70 and was appointed to the city's Planning Commission in\n        1971. In 1974, Carol Delong won election to the City Council, eventually serving three\n        terms. In 1976, Ms. DeLong became Falls Church's first female mayor, serving until 1980.","Carol DeLong was one of the leaders of the Falls Church Housing Corporation. The\n        corporation was organized when City Council felt the need for a non-governmental agency to\n        develop affordable housing for the poor and elderly in the city. Additionally, she fought\n        for the creation of Aurora House, a counseling center for teenage girls.","In 1976 Council Member DeLong was the key sponsor for the passage of Resolution 76-7, a\n        revamping and updating of the Falls Church Historical Commission's charter, which remains\n        today the basis under which this Commission operates. During her term as Mayor, the City\n        Council enacted the landmark legislation that declared the center of City of Falls Church to\n        be a Historic and Cultural District and set forth the City's policies to conserve the\n        historical and cultural structures of the district. That ordinance, updated in 1992,\n        continues to be today's guideline governing the preservation of historic residential\n        structures in the city built during or before 1910. It sets forth procedures for the razing,\n        moving and alteration of designated structures. Later during DeLong's term as Mayor, those\n        procedures were applied and tested in the courts. Throughout this period DeLong was a\n        steadfast friend and proponent of preserving the historic and cultural history of Falls\n        Church.
