Historic Washington Grass Inn was the setting for the Harbor Club Ladies League’s April meeting where the group welcomed authors Corey Crouse and Susan Erlandson — two of the four authors of locally inspired “Do Tell! Tales Told on Southern Porches”.  In keeping with the program theme, “Books & Reading,” everyone was asked to bring a book to exchange.

Corey described  “Do Tell!” as a collection of short stories and photographs from Greene County’s history — taking the reader from frontier days into modern times. She and Susan recounted several fascinating stories and displayed a few pictures — thus adding visual interest to their tales.  A book signing was held at the close of the meeting.

Prior to the program the ladies were served a delightful luncheon in the Inn’s Victorian style dining rooms (where the gourmet soups were served in charming antique cups and saucers).  Table centerpieces contained a series of books topped by pots of colorful spring flowers.

Terri Ligon of the Activities Committee reported that all is ready for the three-day visit to St. Simon’s Island this month.  A trip to the Olive Forge Herb Garden is planned for June.

Brenda Hill announced that a Derby Day theme would highlight the May meeting being held in the home of Lois Miller.  There will be a contest to choose the prettiest, funniest and most original hats.

Camille Mancuso of the Elections Committee submitted the nominations for next year’s officers: Joyce Johnson and Patty Monteleone — Co-Presidents, Diane Gburek and Terri Ligon — Co-Vice-Presidents, Dottie Suggs — Secretary and Bea McCormick — Treasurer.  All nominations were approved and officers will be sworn in at the May meeting.

Door prizes given by the authors and the program committee were awarded — the meeting then concluded with the book exchange.
