On Saturday, March 9th, the Heart of Pinellas Decorative Artists (HPDA) will host their annual luncheon at Faith Presbyterian Church in Seminole. Creativity abounds as members select themes and decorate tables with hand painted items and centerpieces. Baskets and art pieces are also raffled off to support the club’s philanthropic efforts. Luncheon tickets are $15.00 and may be purchased by contacting Carlie Schutte at schutte_c@yahoo.com. This year’s luncheon co-chairmen are Chris Wolfe and Jacki Gehring. They stated that last year’s luncheon raised over $6,000.00 and was a sold out event. They anticipate this year will surpass that amount.
