Ladies Breakfast: Waffle On
Lois hosted the first Ladies Breakfast for 16 members and Associates last Saturday. It was a really fun occasion- the waffles and the waffling on went for much of the morning. I was one of the last to leave at midday.
The main dish was Waffles cooked by Lois, Philippa and Deryn. A huge pile of these special pancakes occupied the centre of the table along with their filings – berry fruit, pineapple, yoghurt, and maple syrup. As well there was there were exquisite muffins, muesli and if we wanted it, toast. With the breakfast was orange juice, coffee, tea and water.
The meal was wonderful but the talk and the chance to get to know everyone there was just so special. Our district governor Sarita McLean was our guest of honour and I found the half hour I spent with her just amazing. She has terrific foresight and we are lucky to have someone like her to lead us.
While I think we are a total club – we are a mix of both men and women - the chance to get together away from club night and to talk was just wonderful. It enabled us to catch up with some women members who are not always there on club night.
Many thanks Lois, Philippa and Deryn for all your hard work.
It was a fellowship event with great potential.
