Spring has sprung if you can use the WGC Brunch buffet table as an indicator. Diane Ward and Mary Baughn set a table to rival any spring garden!

Refreshing and thoroughly enjoyed! Thank you, Diane and Mary... a great way to greet the day. The business meeting was held as a remi...
Top of the mornin' to ya! 'Twas a lovely sight, the breakfast buffet set forth by Glenna Waltee and Joan Myhre. The green deviled eggs, the soda bread, the shamrock sandwiches, a green fruit salad, and, of course, the "Blarney Stones" delighted members and guests alike.

Delicious "Pots Of Gold" egg bites, fresh green grapes, green veggies, green lime juice, and two types of traditional Irish soda bread were enjoyed by all. With the luck of the Irish, scrumptious Blarney Stones were also served, but we believe 'tis the wee leprechauns that took off with them to be hidden in the shamrocks....because they disappeared...
