Annual Spring Luncheon

April 26th, 2025 at 11am
 

Our annual April program and luncheon will once again be at Ian Crawford's lovely home in Greensboro, AL. The program will be on passages from Persuasion and will be presented by Helen Dolive and Renee Gainer. Period attire is encouraged but not required for this event.
 

*You must RSVP via email to jasna.alabama@gmail.com.
If you don't RSVP via email your name won't be added to the RSVP list.
Please RSVP by April 21 at the latest.
This will be a catered event so we need to plan for the number of people attending, as there is somewhat limited space. This program and luncheon will be in person only with no hybrid options, and more details about the program and menu to follow!

​

A $20 cash donation will be collected the day of the event to cover food and drink. There is always a beautiful lunch thanks to our amazing host!
