I just finished talking with the catering manager at the Gatlinburg Convention Center and he has lowered the price of a lunch
that I think we can work with!! Just a little review – last year I stepped out on faith and planned this. We served 70 ladies and they all seemed to enjoy and appreciate the special recognition. The National WMA is the host BUT at this time we can only
budget $500. The rest of the funding came from state auxiliaries, district auxiliaries, local auxiliaries and a few individuals.
The catering manager has agreed to a price of $20 per person all inclusive!! This is $5 less than I was anticipating – PRAISE
THE LORD!! Attached is a form that I would like to have on our website, as well as other websites and in our state papers. I purposely left the cost off of the form.
Continue to pray about this and if you or your church would like to honor a wife or widow of a minister, I know they would
be honored and appreciative. I know you will be blessed as well. If you are the wife of a minister, pass this on to a key person in your church.
Just to entice you – here is the planned meal. Chicken breast w/glazed pecans served with honey roasted sweet potatoes and
seasonal vegetables. Green salad, fresh baked rolls, desert, water, tea and coffee. YUM YUM!!
Janet Widger, President National WMA
