On December 8, 2022, the Monroeville Garden Club met at the Presbyterian Church for a delicious Christmas luncheon. Hostesses were Tonja Carter, Emilie Martin, Ann Pridgen, Jeanne Sewell and Gail Touchton.
Members were greeted at the door by “Evergreen”, a delightful garden lady, created by Bev Colquett. With Christmas music playing in the background, our Christmas spirits and appetites were enhanced by a delicious cup of Christmas cider.
Beautiful table centerpieces, designed by each hostess, adorned the tables, which were set in gorgeous Christmas china of choice. Gold cutlery and Christmas napkins also adorned each table. Hand crafted wax sachets created by Bev Colquett were given as table favors.
Our menu consisted of grilled bacon wrapped chicken breasts, string beans, oven roasted potatoes, rolls, cheesecake, water and tea. This delicious meal was catered by Cherry Street Bar-B-Que owned by Melvin Foukal.
After the meal, members adjourned to the church sanctuary where we were entertained with a delightful piano program by Faron McKinley. We heard the most interesting story of Faron’s early musical beginnings up to his graduating from Livingston University. And we also discovered that he has a wonderful voice. My personal favorite musical number was his own composition, “The Colors of Christmas”. Thank you, Faron, for such a heartwarming start to the Christmas season -Merry Christmas.
