This year the Toledo Club is presenting 20 young debutantes
to society on Saturday May 28 at the Stranahan and the
Mother-Daughter Luncheon is a perennial prelude to the main
event.
This past weekend, Luncheon Chairman Karen Jarrett opened
the event and served as mistress of ceremonies. Club
President Denise Black-Poon offered the welcome and after
the preliminaries and lunch, all of the debutantes and their
mothers, or guardians, were introduced and asked to describe
their relationships.
After the tearful expressions of mutual love and gratitude,
the young women were apprised of the next step in the
Cotillion event – the talent show – by Talent Co-Chairman
Deborah Carlisle.
Closing out the luncheon, Cotillion General Chairman Wilma
Brown, who has helped to guide the event since the onset 51
years ago, addressed the attendees on some of the issues
they will face this year.
