JAY – The first in a series of monthly luncheons and dinners will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 6:30 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 6, at LaFleur’s Restaurant, known as Western Mountain Women’s Connection and Western Mountain After 5 Club.

The meals are sponsored by Stonecroft Ministries, an international organization, having no membership or dues, with approximately 1,500 established groups in the United States and Canada and about 80 in foreign countries. These are inter-church and all women of the area are invited to attend.

Spring fashion shows will be featured at both these events from Butterfly McQueen’s Boutique in Farmington.

Guest speaker and soloist, Dr. Georgia Basko, of Lebanon, will relate how she coped with “Choices, Changes and Challenges.” Her 200-year-old Cape Cod style home was featured several years ago in the Country Living Magazine.
