And special thanks to Denise for hosting and to all of you who took the time to join the fun.  The hat idea was a 100% success, Cerese!  mcl

........  and a note from Cerese:

Hello Ladies,

Firstly, a very BIG THANK YOU  to Denise for welcoming  everyone and providing  the luxury of her charming home and warm surroundings for last weeks “Meet and Greet New Members’ Tea” .BRAVO Denise!...and thanks for the coffee, tea and vittles Cowgirl!!!!

Secondly, a special thank you  to all of you for your participation in the tea, in honor of our newest members. It was a real pleasure  to be with each of you and I know that I speak for all of us when I say that we’re simply delighted to have our new members among us at AWG-LR. Jennifer B, a returning AWGer and Veronique C, joining our club after getting to know us a little better, were both in attendance for last week’s tea. 

Everyone  brought luscious vittles and treats and wore marvelously inventive hats!!!  I’d like to give special recognition to Kathy B, who not only surprised us with a magnificent bowl of organic fruits, but also deserves an “HONORABLE MENTION” for her extraordinary creativity in designing her hat, which you will find in the photo album in the link I have included in this email:

 

A  warm welcome and hats off to all of our new members, including those who were unable to come to last week’s festivities, due to professional obligations. Here’s a list of this fall season’s much applauded new members:

    - Jennifer B

    - Véronique C

    - Grazia G

    - Sonia G

    - Margaret R

    - Rebecca S

Bravo AWG-LR!!! You really do know how to have fun and we all know, that’s just what girls do!!!

And finally:
