On July 20, Lunch Bunch 1 celebrated turning 24 at an old favorite, the Olive Garden. Our very first luncheon was held at Tessa’s Tea and Treasure’s in Phoenix in July of 1999. At that time our choices here were pretty much Wendy’s or MacDonald’s. So we decided to go east a bit and found some interesting places such as the Boulders, the Biltmore, the Wrigley Mansion, etc. As traffic got more congested, more places popped up here, and now we are content to stay mainly in our own backyard. We have had many changes in our membership through the years. Some of our gals moved, sadly we lost some, but we have welcomed many new faces and still do. We are looking forward to turning 25 next year!
