Our special guests will be an "adoption triade". Tara Staglik was born to Katherine Graves in 1971 who relinquished her for closed state adoption in Louisiana. She was adopted at 4 months by MayNell and Glann Machen. When Tara was 18, MayNell searched for Katherine and in 1991, a year later, a reunion occured. That was almost 18 years ago and they all three have been one united integrated family ever since. And to boot - Tara, (adoptee) and Katherine (birth mother) now own a business together! How's THAT for a reunion story!

Please join us for this special luncheon. This will be a 'dutch treat' event.
