I almost can give you the history of these lunches, it all started with a meet in person meeting under the clock at LSL in '07. The problem was that the web cam was so small we couldn't really see the faces of people and they were holding signs and we couldn't read them. I think there were about 10 or so people at that meeting.

The next meeting was around Oct. 07, I was in TV and a few others, so we met at Dunkin Donuts. There were about 8 of us, and the minute I walked into the restaurant, I walked over to Donna because who could miss that cute face and blonde ponytail... We had so much fun, that we decided to do it again soon.

The next one was held at Starbucks and it coincided with Redwitch's birthday, so I brought Killer Choc Cake from TooJays, and I put Red in the hospital with a gall bladder attack, LOL... not funny at the time. TH was there and took pictures of us. It was such a fun event that we decided to make it a monthly regular meeting. Lots of posts and suggestions developed with the consensus of the group coming up with Crispers on the 3rd Friday of the month. The major hostess of the early lunches were Villages 07 and Village Kid who greeted everyone and took the pictures.

Therein lies the history of the luncheon. At the inception, I and many others, were still wannabees so as we all arrived to look for houses, we were celebrating our eventual moves to TV and the start of many great friendships.... The greatest fun was every time a member was visiting was the excitement of meeting in person and introducing them to all the other folks. Such a great time was had by all.

So some day, you will grace us with your presence so we can all meet the great Boomer in person (and Mr. Boomer as well).... Hope to see you soon.

Thanks for the TOTV Luncheon history lesson! I never knew. I can't wait 'till I'm a frog and can attend the luncheons. I've only been in town for one.
