	Twilight Lumination Garden Party We met on August 25 th in between thunderstorms to celebrate. At the garden party the use of paper lanterns under the tent and porch roofs were especially beautiful. The soft candles in luminaries also lighted the gardens. Cakes, tarts, fruit, cheese and other treats were served. Violins and harp music surrounded conversation. Attendance increased as we honored and thanked so many people who generously support our efforts at Centennial Cottage.
Cottage Chair and local photographer Margaret Joanne Cotton thanks visitors to the Garden Party for their continued support.
