Our first gathering this year was at the Burnette's house. Our newest members, Brandi, Whitney and Heath joined the mix along with the youngest member attending her first official meeting -- Gabby. The theme was Italian, and the food as announced below was enjoyed by all.
In honor of our upcoming trip to Italy this summer, Chris and Jennifer would like to say "Buon Appetito!"
