May Luncheon: A time of Welcome, Recognition, Honor, and Change

Our May Luncheon is our time to take stock of our year and celebrate our hard work and many accomplishments. A delicious luncheon at Rock Springs was enjoyed by all as outgoing President Mary Lee Hobbie presided over the final meeting of her tenure and walked us through The Service League of Greenville year that was 2015-2016.

We welcomed those who were new within our ranks:
