Hey, Hope! Seating is still available for the Mother’s Day Luncheon at WILLow LeaVes of Hope, located at 326 Jackson Street in downtown Hope, at 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Saturday.

A delicious menu of chicken and noodles, beef Manhattan and a veggie humus sandwich will be offered for both seating times, says Vickie Tedder, co-owner of WILLow LeaVes of Hope. Additionally, diners can enjoy a variety of cold and hot brews from the coffee bar, as well as delicious cheesecake with a drizzle of topping of one’s choice. Reservations for the luncheon are suggested but not required.

“We did this same style last year,” Tedder says. “We hope there are a lot of reconnections of family members that they choose this as a day to rekindle and enjoy each other’s time. And, it is not Mother’s Day weekend, so it gives them an extra opportunity for other gatherings.”
