Tomorrow, April 12, the Woman's Civic Club of Jasper is pulling a switch on their regular monthly meeting and moving to a tent on the grounds of the historic Swann Hotel.

They will host a Kentucky Derby luncheon fund-raiser open to everyone, men and women, at 11:30 a.m.

"The sound track of music from past Derby luncheons will be playing to set the mood," president Darlene Nolen said, " and a lot of the Woman's Civic Club members will be dressed in elegant hats, but special dress is not required."

Coca-Cola, as part of their centennial celebration, will furnish beverages. The meal is catered by the Belle Jim Hotel and will include Brown Derby pie.

Proceeds from the $15 ticket sale and the silent auction go to support the many service activities of the Woman's Civic Club.
