Take Back Our State Luncheon

The second luncheon this day was for planned attendees of the "Take Back our State" Rally. Held at at different hotel, everyone had to rush from one event to the other, since there was no break. The second luncheon started an hour after the first. Pat Tarbell (below left) and Cathy Heath (below right) were there registering the attendees to the second luncheon and making everyone feel at home.
