The Gathering of the Goddesses, A Celebration of Sisterhood and Friendship luncheon is an afternoon of fun, frivolity and fashion. Handsome gladiators (a.k.a. goddess protectors) welcome guests and escort them to their seats, feed them grapes and pamper them, as all Goddess should be. This is a BYOT (bring your own tiara) and each Goddess is encouraged to wear hers. The luncheon includes a fashion show with clothes provided by local boutiques, prizes, raffle and of course photo ops with the gladiators.
