Ronda Carman, accomplished author, and speaker will be the highlighted speaker. “Sometimes we get in a rut because we see the same thing daily and can’t visualize outside the box”, said Carman. “I love to take everyday objects and find interesting uses for them. My hope is to inspire attendees to look at their objects in a new light finding new ways to use them when entertaining guests.” Carman will show you how to elevate your table with objects around the home and easy dishes to prepare from your pantry.
