July Potluck

Instead of our regular meeting with program, the Lane County Dahlia Society hosted a Members Only Potluck in July. The day dawned grey and cloudy and as we ate a few showers traveled through the area. We set up inside the Campbell Center, instead of outside, but otherwise the evening went off without a hitch. Over 30 members came to enjoy an amazing 3 tables worth of main dishes, salads and desserts. The room was filled with laughter and friendship. Thanks to everyone who came and brought a dish to share. It was a really nice evening.
