It was New Year’s Day, 2023, at 4:30 p.m. when 14 members of the British Club enjoyed a splendid New Year’s Day hors d’oeuvres party at the beautiful home of Eileen and Mike Sedgwick. As usual, we enjoyed the camaraderie of fellow members and dining on the delicious food members had contributed for the celebration, which included salmon bites and spreads, spicy meat casserole with French bread, Swedish meatballs, ham sandwiches, and vegetable rolls. Delicious desserts included trifle and peach cheesecake.
Following the hors d’oeuvres, a raffle was held, and winners enjoyed a coupon for Ethel Willmot’s boxed “Afternoon Tea for Two to Go” jars of freshly made lemon curd and beautiful mounted prints of Eileen Sedgwick’s paintings.
Later in the evening, they had a delightful time listening to Mike Sasche, one of our newer members, playing some wonderful tunes on the grand piano.
Arm and arm, they all sang along to “Auld Lang Syne” to welcome in the beginning of a wonderful New Year 2023!
Everyone thanked Eileen and Mike for inviting them into their home to welcome in the new year!
