Guests begin arriving from all over WHITLEY COUNTY around 11:00 am and spent time reminiscing and visiting with each other. There was lots of fellowship and smiles as Whitley County guests, some fulltime Florida residents and some six-month "Snowbirds" and some "Snowflakes" (less than two months). Everyone enjoyed the warm sunny weather and were happy not to be "Up North" due to the snow and cold temperatures this year.

The Whitley County Luncheon is the expansion of the CCHS ALUMNI ASSOCIATION brunches started 14 years ago in Florida.  With so many families from the WC area visiting or living in Florida in the winter months, the central location of Sebring, FL. is ideal.  Homers has fine foods at a very reasonable price.

All present were greeted and welcomed by host Don Wineland, a Whitley County , resident and a "Snowbird". Don has attended the FLORIDA events for the past eight years. Don was assisted with the help of hostess Rosalie Kay Farber Shoda Kleespie. Those attending this year's events came from Columbia City, Churubusco and South Whitley area. There were two guests from Warsaw.
