1 NOVEMBER 2017 Volume 9, Issue 11 President s Message By Barbara Fowler This past month has been awesome in getting our projects ready for our October 28 Basket Luncheon which culminated last week with all tickets sold and a packed house of guests. They all had a fantastic time in browsing all the baskets and auction items and putting in their raffle tickets hoping they would win the baskets, etc. This began at 11 a.m. Lunch was served by our wonderful team at noon and oh, was it delicious! At 1 pm we won prizes not only in baskets but also what was on the table as centerpieces. The live auction along with the silent one was successful--all items were taken home by the ladies who bid and hoped for the best. This was our most successful luncheon ever. We made over $ which will go for the charities and lessening the cost of the big brush seminars. We all came away being winners for sure! Thank you to all who participated!
