British Club Update

British Club Meet & Greet

Mary (Twink) Gates

On Jan. 21, 22 members and two guests of the British Club attended a Meet & Greet for new members at the home of Lynne Pendlebury and Mike Sachse. Everyone thanked Lynne and Mike for hosting this important and fun event where new members were greeted and got acquainted with existing members. Appetizers and riveting conversations were in abundance! It was a potluck buffet of plates of shrimp with cocktail sauce, stuffed mushrooms, deviled eggs, sausage rolls, cheesecakes, and an assortment of chocolates. Lynne and Mike generously provided cocktails, beer, and wine. Each couple brought one wrapped gag (funny) gift to exchange, which made it a most enjoyable, fun time.
