November's Roadtip at Hilltop Lakes

The Bryan/College Station Christian Women's Connection took a ROAD TRIP to Hilltop Lakes for November's luncheon! We have a great group of ladies from Hilltop Lakes faithfully join us at Pebble Creek Country Club, our normal luncheon location in College Station, so we decided to go visit them at their beautiful small community which they like to call Heaven.

Vehicles were the theme of the luncheon and this cool ride was parked out front with a sign showing us which way to enter.
The ladies of Hilltop Lakes decorated the beautiful lodge with fall decorations to get us all in a Thanksgiving mood.

As always, we enjoy good visits and fellowship before the luncheon begins! Of course, we're women!
Chicken breast, steamed vegetables, a side salad, and dinner rolls were served for lunch. Dessert was a slice of shortcake with blackberry toppings. The lodge at Hilltops sure knows how to treat us well!

Our feature was Ms. Texas Senior Sarah Senter of Red Oak Texas. Sarah spoke of her journeys and adventures while she wore the crown in 2009!

Our speaker, Donna Bogema of Danbury, was accompanied by her fried Mary Jean Adams. Donna brought a wonderful message and reminded us of the importance of the choices we make everyday. Donna owns a house in Hilltops and visits as frequently as she is able with her family.

See you next month for a very Merry Christmas Luncheon!

As always, the food and the atmosphere was wonderful! Our speaker, Penny Powers, spoke of the challenges she faced during her childhood as well as in her adult years. She shared her inspirational story of how she overcame those difficult times and how she has grown through those experiences.
