Gloria-ous Return
We never get tired of telling and showing you how much fun and
relaxation is possible on a Friday morning (10 – 11.30am) at HMC.
Well last Friday we welcomed back the chief archetype of this
community – Gloria! This lady embodies the dynamic energy that

ever needed one, of her eagerness to get back to mentoring her art
disciples and providing her carefully selected confectionery and
juices to the little ones at Polka tots! and more.
