The big news of June is the Annual Luncheon and Auction and we have some great photos of this year’s event, thanks to Ann H. Our attendance this year was up substantially from last year, and auction plants flew off the tables, compliments of Max’s auctioneering skills. Jill C and the Hospitality Committee made it all possible. Here are some of the hightlights…

The food received high praise and our rapt attention Connie was surprised by a special honor Susan recognized Connie’s suggestion of the Promise Tree, a very special contribution to our club. Pretty in pink, Connie thanked members Susan addressed members and guests To send us off, members of the Hospitality Committee led a garden sing-a-long to the tune of
“Raindrops on Roses.”
