70th champagne birthday party for JoAnne Braun
Sandy Stephens
What a party it was with more than 70 PebbleCreek friends and family members came to celebrate JoAnne’s milestone birthday. JoAnne’s daughter, Sherri, from Chicago, and son, Scott, his wife, Stacy, with grandson, Matt, from Tempe, made the gathering extra special. JoAnne’s daughter Sherri and Jeff Braun, one of PebbleCreek’s trusted guards, had been planning the party since December. Jeff grilled meats, and everyone who came brought a dish to share. Sherri walked in with over a dozen birthday balloons, and there were 70th birthday decorations throughout their home, including a decorated champagne table. After everyone had eaten, there was a champagne toast for the birthday girl and a table laden with desserts made by our very talented resident baker, Rose Ann Cleland, whom many PebbleCreekers place orders with for her famous cannoli cake and other decadent desserts. The party didn’t end there, but many went on to gather in the great room while JoAnne opened a table covered with cards and gifts.
