The Southern Belle Survivor Brunch was the theme of the annual Susan G. Komen event June 14 at East Ridge Country Club. Some of the attendees were 25-year breast cancer survivors. Dr. Julie Mook recognized them. The event had a tribute area to light a candle in memory of a loved one, and the road leading to East Ridge was decorated with pink tulip cutouts. Janie Walters, author of “The Garbage Truck Comes On Tuesdays and Fridays,” was guest speaker. Sponsor categories were cleverly designed as “I Do Declare,” “Like Two Peas in a Pod,” “Kiss My Grits,” “Lord Willin’,” “Creek Don’t Rise” and “Sight for Sore Eyes.”
