Burchette was voted upon as president by the general membership during the state convention in April to serve a two-year term. She has previously served as the second vice-president and first vice-president. \u201cI like being a liason between the state and national organizations,\u201d Burchette said of being president. In addition, Burchette said the state president works with the five Kentucky district directors and the local club presidents on a variety of projects. \u201cThe state has resources that go along with some of the projects,\u201d Burchette explained noting they include things from promoting planting to a variety of schools. Burchette said one such project that was part of a national effort was the, \u201cPlant It Pink\u201d to promote breast cancer awareness. Burchette noted that in 2017, \u201cPlant it Pink\u201d was changed to a healing gardens effort to go beyond breast cancer. Burchette said one focus she has is finding ways to get more publicity about the activities of the Kentucky Garden Club and local chapters across the state. In her time with the Corbin Garden Club, Burchette said she is surprised at the number of longtime Corbin residents who didn\u2019t know that the Corbin Garden Club existed. \u201cYou don\u2019t have to have a green thumb, or a big garden, to be a member,\u201d Burchette said noting that she had neither when she first joined. \u201cAfter I got into it, I was asked to serve in some state positions,\u201d Burchette said. \u201cI realized that I really liked being involved with other people.\u201d However, one of the benefits of being a member is the classes offered in everything from landscape and flower arrangement design to horticulture, and then different types of plants. \u201cThe members can take the classes and then take that knowledge back to their local club and share it,\u201d Burchette explained. Burchette encourages anyone with an interest in gardening to contact the Corbin Garden Club through its Facebook page, or reach out to any member. \u201cWe would love to have you check us out,\u201d Burchette said."}
