SUMMARY:Buds and Butterflies Spring Luncheon for Members and Guests
DESCRIPTION:For many years\, our spring gathering for Members and their guests has been our much-loved Victorian Tea. Since we enjoyed a tea together this past October\, we thought this spring was the perfect opportunity to try something a little different. The Buds & Butterflies Luncheon keeps the heart of that tradition—friendship\, conversation\, and shared hospitality—while giving us a fresh way to celebrate the season. \nThe Buds & Butterflies theme is centered on friendship and growth. Buds remind us that relationships often begin quietly and deepen over time\, while butterflies symbolize the joy and confidence that come from friendships nurtured year after year. This luncheon will celebrate the small but meaningful moments— shared laughter\, familiar faces\, and new connections—that help our community continue to bloom. As is our tradition\, please bring a dish to share. \nFor more information and registration\, please see the Spring Newsletter that was emailed on March 6.
