The second Tuesday brunch was a smashing success (as always). The ladies come from miles around (Roberts, Onarga, Fairbury) to snag a much-sought-after seat in the Hotel. The Hampsher becomes a bustling hive of activity in the kitchen, where a core of volunteers & new recruits plate up delectable desserts, wash dishes, refill carafes, & make sure the brunchers are comfortable. 
The brunchers enjoy a table in the sun-hued parlor, dining room, or soothing library. A buffet table of fresh salads of all kinds beckons brunchers up for seconds, a temptation almost impossible to resist if it weren't for the tray of assorted bite-size desserts at every table!
Everyone has a good time, chatting in the peaceful setting, taking a break from everyday business. Mothers with their daughters catch up with each other; brunchers ask volunteers for a recipe; Out-of-town guests enjoy the hospitality of the Hotel.
And before they leave, most of the brunchers have made their reservations for the second Tuesday in June...
