It was a rather unsettling morning for the committee because it had snowed several inches overnight.

However, it was a wet snow meaning when it was plowed, the roads stayed clear.

The Wengers were busy plowing the parking lot when I arrived.

I asked Cerwin to take me because I am not comfortable driving on snowy roads.

Bob made sure the sidewalk was clear.

My first stop was the fellowship hall which was set up for lunch.

They were set up for 280 ladies – making the room full of tables.

I always enjoy seeing the pretty decorations for this luncheon.

Brenda and her daughter Korina did a great job with the theme – burlap & lace.

Church cookbooks were available for purchase at one end of the room.

When I got to the narthex, ladies were beginning to arrive and register.

The committee was pleased that despite the snow there were still about 225 ladies in attendance – some from quite a distance. I talked to several ladies from West Virginia and some others from an hour or two away.

Part 2 tomorrow night.
