It was a lovely Lawn Party Luncheon!

THANK YOU!!

Our community celebration involved many generous neighbors!  Please read through to join us in gratitude, and enjoy some great photos of the event.

CCL and the Teccas want to extend a wholehearted thank you to everyone who came out and made the 2024 Lawn Party Luncheon another memorable occasion! Your presence, smiles, and laughter filled the green space with an incredible sense of community and joy that we will cherish until next year’s gathering.

 

A special shout-out goes to the wonderful volunteers who contributed their time, effort, and resources to ensure the luncheon was a success. We truly could not have done it without you! The food, as always, was a highlight of the day — so thank you to all our amazing chefs and bakers for the delicious treats. Your culinary skills did not go unnoticed and were the subject of many compliments throughout the event.

 

The Lawn Party Luncheon is more than just an annual event; it’s a testament to the wonderful spirit and camaraderie of our community. We missed those who couldn’t make it this year, and we are looking forward to seeing all of you at next year’s Lawn Party Luncheon. Keep an eye out for the date!
