A last minute change of venue to the Benvenuto Restaurant in Boynton Beach added to the excitement of our 2011 Holiday Luncheon, coordinated by Chairman Carol Brown.

Guests were treated to a delectable mimosa upon entering the beautifully decorated lobby. The scrumptious menu included an organic mixed green salad and grilled sirloin filet or salmon in dill sauce. Desserts were a choice between the mouth-watering apple tart with cinnamon ice cream or the luscious warm Chocolate Lava cake.

The centerpieces were old-fashioned, galvanized sprinkling cans filled with an arrangement of ivy plants, ilex and brilliant red and gold ribbons. The party favors were miniature watering cans.	Almost 90 garden club members and their friends attended this year's Holiday luncheon.
