Winner's Thoughts

“I so enjoyed being pampered for a week and getting away from all of the usual activities was a welcome break. The hospitality that we were all shown by the participating Carmel businesses was amazing! They were so helpful and made us each feel special. Finally, the best part of the week for me was the blessing of new friendships that were formed. I met an amazing group of ladies and we are all excited to get together again, as soon as possible!”  ~Sue (Fall 2009 Season)
