A heartfelt thank you to Laurel & Pearl for hosting our Oak Creek ladies for a wonderful luncheon of friendship and conversation on May 22. Their neighborhood Euro-Southern bakery brings together the flavors of Europe and the warmth of East Texas, serving handcrafted pastries, cakes, coffee, crêpes, and other delicious treats inspired by culinary training both close to home and in Paris. We are grateful for their hospitality and for creating such a beautiful place where our community can gather and enjoy a little taste of Europe right here in Tyler.
