Program
Are you entertaining the same people with the same old table settings? Catty Miller and Michelle Lupo of Pottery Barn will show us exciting looks using mostly pieces we already have.  We can have new looks for formal seated dinners to casual buffets.  Just a new piece or two and a fresh design will make your table pop!

Pottery Barn will give each of us at the luncheon a 15% off coupon.
