Our 2nd Luncheon at the DeLand Conference Center



Our second luncheon took place at the DeLand Conference and Business Center on September 23. Outside of the county fairgrounds, this is probably one of the largest indoor venues in West Volusia. It could almost be thought of as DeLand's Convention Center.

Our excellent lunch was catered by Encore Catering. Music was provided by KC Sound Express DJs. Connie Duglin Provided the linens while theStetson Florist added the excellent floral arrangements. All of the photography is by Pilster Photography.

















This is the unfinished area, but it's huge and the potential is endless. If you have a budget to decorate it, it can be air conditioned!
