Pictured left to right: Jackie Abel, Averill Swenson, Suzan Simons, Di Week, and Kathy Tobin were given a surprise birthday cake to celebrate their milestone birthdays. They are all turning 80 this year, except for Averill, she is already in her 80s. Congrats to these “young ladies!”
Eight ladies have been friends for over 17 years. They have played Samba every other Thursday night, rotating their schedule to play at each other’s home.
Four of the ladies are turning 80 (one already is there) in 2023. The “70-year-olds” (Linda Grabau, Nancy Hume, and Sue White) surprised them with a birthday cake on Jan. 5th to let them know how special they are for reaching this milestone birthday.
Those turning 80 are Di Week, Kathy Tobin, Suzan Simons, and Jackie Abel. Averill Swenson is also 80ish!
They all agree that friendship through the years is the most important thing to them and enjoy each other’s company.
