provides educational scholarships for primary and secondary schools,
colleges, universities, and/or vocational training. The 1st Lady’s
Lunch, hosted by the Mayor’s wife, Lisa, was held at Manzo’s
Banquets, 1574 Elmhurst Road, on October 4, 2009. Entertainment
featured a presentation on "Chocolates" by Linda Hills, Rocky
Mountain Chocolate Factory, and "Tea" by Sheila Duda of Tea Lula.

honored guest at the luncheon. A committee consisting of Mayor
Moylan, Mrs. Lisa Moylan, Secretary to the Mayor Donna Catlett, and
