November Meeting
Hi Ladies,
With a balcony banner reading "WELCOME LAKE VISTA GARDEN CLUB," our meeting at Gloria Moore's home was off to a great start! Speaker Mary Lou Widmer entertained us all discussing her book and it's connection to the history of New Orleans. Gloria and her hard working committee comprised of Petra Junius, Melissa Adolph, Chrissy Bourdais and Louise Kirchberg served a delicious Southern-style meal, setting the bar high for the next luncheon committee. As you can see in the attached photos, Cara Dessens' floral displays were seasonably perfect! Karen Smith's report on those cute little hummingbirds was very entertaining as well as educational.
Our Garden Club GOM committee (Ros Wingerter, Joel Myers, Vonni Contreary and Liz Leonard) is doing a wonderful job this year as they travel the streets of Lake Vista searching for the best and most striking gardens in our neighborhood.
Thanks, Team GOM!
For October, the Garden of the Month was awarded to Liz and Rene deBoisblanc.
Honorable Mention went to 63 Oriole Street.
Le Petit Jardin was given to 15 Bluebird Street.
October Garden Club Meeting
Hi Ladies -
Wow! What a gorgeous day for an outdoor meeting at Pam Ortiz's lovely home. We had an awesome turnout today as you can see from the photos taken by Laura Carman. Everyone enjoyed the great luncheon prepared by Kimberly Zibilich and her team consisting of Karen Smith, Heather Mayfield, and Michele Bravo. Kerrie deVay's floral arrangement perfectly accented the decor in the dining room. Once again, our anniversary cake looked and tasted devine thanks to Yvonne McCulla.
Sallie Walker did an outstanding job researching and presenting the past Presidents' reports - every President had such special memories of their term in office. Sallie's report will be an asset to our archives.

Great job, ladies!
For those of you who missed last Friday's meeting, we had a lovely time at Faith's fabulous home. Faith and the Hostess Team members Charlotte Rivet, Susan Sheridan, Susan Bennett (represented by her delicious pasta!), Jolanta Tipler and Zee Van Norman all worked extremely hard to provide such a great luncheon, and Jane Schramel's floral arrangement was so colorful! .

What a treat our members had today as we enjoyed Sandra Junius' stunning new home on such a pretty day. Sandra, along with Head Hostess Joan Farabaugh, did an outstanding job preparing the delicious luncheon, along with committee members Petra Junius Guste, Heather Junius Mayfield, Pam Ortiz, Karen Pilie, Geneva Forstall and Gail Zewe. They all deserve many thanks for such hard work. Everyone had a great time!
