carefully. It involves everyone on our

What a trip we had this past Friday for our “Lunch Bunch”
outing! We visited historic, downtown Gulfport
including the newly renovated city hall and 4 art galleries; Bella Blue,
Williams, Dimensions and the Galleria.
We also spent time at the ‘Sock Hop’ with the Biloxi

Wonder what’s on the horizon for this month! Hint:
We are going to go ‘high’ then look at something panoramic.
