Ladies Fall Luncheon is a success!
|
The ladies fall luncheon – the first meal function in our new building – was deemed a success by all involved. Leonard Shott and his “Chair-Men” cleared the auditorium and set up tables and chairs in record time. Then the decorations committee went to work, transforming the auditorium, with a “Yellow Brick Road” leading to the platform where life-size figures of Dorothy, The Tin Man, Scarecrow and Lion waited, and just beyond them, a beautiful rainbow over an angel figure. |
 Wizard of Oz characters occupy the platform. |

Forty pounds of chicken, 15 pounds of rice, a crate of grapes and many other ingredients were used by Bettie Jennings, Cathy Hooper, Carol Patrick, Gerry Mathews and Cela Armstrong to create beautiful and delicious luncheon plates for the 239 guests. |

Carolynn Smith narrated her version of “The Yellow Brick Road” from a Christian perspective. A video presentation edited by Kent and Sally Simcoe accompanied Carolynn’s story. Other highlights included a medley of songs by “Voice of Joy” (Barbara Latter, Jan Percy and Mary Smith) and group singing led by Joann Kerfoot. Many thanks go to the committee members, hostesses and others who participated to make the event successful! |
