Beautiful day, great venue, entertaining and inspiring presentation, and decadent chocolate pears – what a spectacular luncheon! It was the kind of event tailor-made for your best customer – our members and guests.

The October Luncheon began with a reception in the garden, where guests mingled while a harpist played and servers passed wine and delicious hors d’oeurves. Next, we moved inside to the Auditorium where Nick Irons, author of Swim Lessons – Secrets from the Mississippi, inspired us to pursue our wildest dreams by talking about his 1500 mile swim down the Mississippi River in 1997 to raise money for MS research, in honor of his father. Feeling inspired to conquer the world, we, then, followed the balloon path to a big tent, set amidst beautiful gardens, and enjoyed a wonderful fall-themed lunch while continuing to network with our colleagues.
