TALK ABOUT TALENT! We really have an abundance of it in the Bay Area. Not only rocket scientists, but talented housewives and business men and women as well.
This is so evident each year when the Bay Area Museum Guild hosts its Just a Pretty Table Luncheon at Bay Oaks Country Club. Each year you think this may be the year when they run out of ideas, and each year they surprise you with all new ideas and more beautiful table decor.
And each year Chairman Angie Weinman is there to greet the arriving crowd, along with Anita Fogtman, Ava Galt and Mary Ann Baxter – all wearing big smiles and eager to see everyone’s reaction on entry.
“Dreaming of a White Christmas” by Robyn Weigelt and Era Lee Caldwell caught everyone’s eyes as they walked into the ballroom, followed by dozens more, including one topped by the Rubber Ducky floating on blue bubbles, plus ladies dressed in gowns and crowns, to carry out “If the Crown Fits” and “Let Them Eat Cake” themes.
