Ladies Wednesday PC Bridge Group surprised Sheila Hays at a special catered 80th birthday luncheon on July 26 at the home of member Ellie Daly. Nine members toasted Sheila with mimosas before being treated to specialty prepared quiches, quinoa salad, strawberry spinach salad, croissants, various drinks, and Sheila’s favorite German Chocolate Cake. Additional chocolates and specialty nuts were included.
Gifts and birthday cards were opened followed by the silly game “Left, Right, and Center” with the winner, Lynda Bailey, taking home $27.
Members’ husbands were invited to Doug Krause’s home for a barbecue lunch with drinks followed by a competitive game of sequences.
This party was only the second birthday party Sheila had since she was 10 years old. Joyful tears flowed from Sheila’s eyes as she thanked everyone for this unexpected, beautiful birthday gift.
