he Mountain Mamas were treated to a rip-roaring Red Hat luncheon in the TVictorian Room at the Groveland Hotel on January 17th. Chef Greg created a wonder- ful soup and sandwich lunch and the group was entertained with games supplied by Julie McVicker and Beverly Mecredy. After lunch the hotel gave everyone a tour of the guest rooms and social areas. A wonderful start to the New Year. In December the group was wined and dined at the home of Maddie Sousa (the hostess with the mostess) complete with wine, antipasto, wonderful main dishes, fabulous desserts, and even good looking waiters. A guitarist was on hand to serenade and the meal was followed by a frolicking gift exchange. What a great way to bring in the Christmas season.
