Fun-filled, foolish luncheon for EOTC
Maureen Pesavento and a committee including Dottie Bosley, Dr. Ruth Connolly, Mary Ann Hazzouri, Joan Hrycow and Elaine Utan are planning a "fun-filled, foolish luncheon" to support EOTC.
The 11 a.m., April Fool's Day event at the Century Club will include an 11 a.m. duplicate bridge game directed by George Mansour. Maureen said you can come without a partner and a partner will be provided.
Participants also will be able to spend some leisure time boutique shopping for items including jewelry, handbags and cosmetics. An EMT will be on hand for blood-pressure screenings. Lunch is at noon.
Walter Mitchell, the master of jokes, invites all to enter the annual joke contest and crazy quiz after lunch. And then, the playing of cards, bridge, pinochle, poker and mahjong will get under way at 1 p.m. Participants can join in, play the games they bring, or just socialize.
