Yesterday we held our annual Spring Luncheon at the Altona Supper Club. The theme was “Honey Buns, Jelly Rolls, and Layer Cakes”, a Tribute to the Fine Art of Quilting. It was a feast for our eyes and tummies!

Thank you to all of our guests for spending your day with us and supporting the society. Thank you to board member Kay Nett and her quilting friends, Lori Thomas, Cathy Sesing, Bonnie Wilkum, Mary Ann Lueders, Kathy Decker, Judy Zarnoth, Terry Schloss, Judy Belke, and Roxanne Gaedke for feeding our eyes. Thank you to Dave and his crew at the Altona for feeding our stomachs.
