The Ball Ground "Anetsa-/ga-Da" Garden Club is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. Anetsa-/ga-Da is "Ball Ground" in the Cherokee language.
The Club was organized in 1951 with 29 charter members. Mrs. Charles Malone served as president, Mrs. Frank Quarles served as vice president, Mrs. C. W. Groover served as recording secretary, Mrs. Henry Lyon served as corresponding secretary, and Mrs. Joe Young served as treasurer. When the Club held the election for the position of president, the election ended in a tie between Mrs. Malone and Mrs. Quarles. Because Mrs. Quarles had a Canton telephone exchange, she recommended Mrs. Malone be the president since it was long-distance to call Canton from Ball Ground.
