The Revelers Krewe welcomed new members and honored its longest-serving members with a "New Member/Sustainer" party on Oct. 22 at the Montvue Road home of Dr. Brenda and Tommy Roberts.

The crisp autumn air ushered in a houseful of ladies, who excitedly chatted throughout the evening during the annual "meet, greet and reconnect" get-together as they nibbled on yummy hors d'oeuvres, sipped wine and talked about the upcoming Revelers Ball, slated for Feb. 12.

The Roberts' beautifully decorated home was the perfect setting for the gathering; guests wandered throughout the house and out onto the terrace, enjoying both the lovely weather and the delightful company.

New Revelers members this year include Laura McWilliams, Rhonda Johnson, Becky Simmons, Ashley Stewart, Claire Caballero, Gail Tillman, Toni Hurd Christopher and Julie Hansek.

Also in attendance was one of the founding members of Revelers: Mrs. Dolores Booth, who enjoyed mingling with new members and catching up with good friends.
