Great fun in July as SIGC members gathered at Floral Artistry in Estero. Jana and Frans shared tips on floral arranging while we enjoyed tea and cookies. We later met at De Romo’s Italian Market and Restaurant for a delightful and delicious lunch. Our next Summer Girlz outing and lunch is being planned for August 12, 2025. Maggie Butcher will soon be sharing the details.
What a fun time at The Blue Giraffe on Wednesday, June 18th for our local SIGC Summer Girlz luncheon! It's always fun to gather and enjoy each other’s company.
