The GirlFriends returned to our clubhouse for the October luncheon. Guest speaker from Wonder Gardens in Bonita Springs, Katie Grimes, encouraged visitors to come explore their botanical gardens, sprawling banyan trees, and rescued animals. She shared with us their Master Plan, that includes an animal care center. It’s a wonderful place to visit with younger children.
We continued the tradition of table topics, suggested by secretary Barb Parsons, and engaged in great conversations about our summer. By sharing our experiences, we got to know each other a little better and bond over shared interests. We celebrated the birthdays of Christine (Mary) Bowser, Peggy Dempsey, Connie
Haigh, Mary Jo Mack, Ellie Wasserman and Judy Young. Julie Applegate was awarded the bracelet.
A big thank you to Michelle Francesconi, who handled the raffle table items this month, and to our ticket sellers, assembled by Yvonne Mazzella. There was a great selection of fall themed items. We appreciate everyone who purchased tickets.
We have a great season planned. The calendar can be found on our web site https://www.grandezzagirlfriends.com or on our group FaceBook page.
