Twink Gates-Zimdar
It was July 14, and the thermometer read 80 degrees Fahrenheit, after a three-day storm came through Tucson. Previously, the temperature was over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Twelve members of the British Club ventured forth and gathered together, enjoying a delicious luncheon at the tastefully decorated Persian Room right here in Tucson on Thornydale.
Everyone thanked Ethel Willmot for organizing this deliciously different luncheon.
Eventually, after the COVID restrictions have eased more, the British Club will resume their game afternoons every second and fourth Friday of the month. They will have a social event in the bar area at SaddleBrooke Clubhouse, which includes canasta, Mexican Train, and maybe bridge from 1 until around 4 p.m. This is followed by a social hour and a bar meal.
