Birdie McCartney

Year of Induction: 2010

WSDS is nominating Birdie McCartney as our Federation Hall of Fame nominee in memorial.

Birdie had many jobs relating to dahlias. She was the ADS Trial Garden Director, who worked closely with WSDS as the sponsoring club and The Federation as needed for judges and other supports.

Birdie was the Federation treasurer for many years. In addition to keeping the books and writing checks, she was responsible for purchasing and distributing hog rings and show tags.

Within our club Birdie was a long time secretary and was our ADS representative for many years. She was also responsible for many odd jobs for our shows.

We believe Birdie was a motivating force in the dahlia culture and among Federation members for many years. Anyone involved with the Federation in the 70's, 80's and 90's would have to agree.
