Mews Notes from Seven/Mile Beach M'Ellen Rowland 368-2294

(From Page 16) other, grudgingly, a taste of our respective choices and both were cooked to perfection. They have not. as yet. acquired a liquor license, but we prefer that since it's really less expensive you .can have mixed drinks just as you like them. Everything was so great, that like our friend, we couldn't imagine our not having tried it before. We learned from our waitress. Lee Tracy from Avalon. the place has been open for two years, is managed by Mary Ann Boylan, is owned by her son and named for her mother. The background music is pleasant and unobtrusive. We suggest making reservations and requesting a table on the second floor for a relaxing perfect night out. Phone 368-7741. THE S. II. Garden Club's Biggest Bloomin' Yard Sale was just that. Jean Christie would put a field general to shame when it

comes to logistics. Having checked everything out with her committee the day before she was still there two hours before the doors were opened for the sale. She assigned two gals to manage each table, one member. Jan Crego. whose job it was to make change for people who arrived with nothing but $5, $10 or larger bills. When the doors were finally opened it was reminiscent of the Johnstown Flood. Customers were fairly trampling each other to spend money on all the donated goodies. For awhile we workers were overwhelmed but when it settled down we really had fun. The Legion Post was cool and airy. Jean had supplied a yummy platter of small sandwiches so we could dive into the kitchen and renew our energy with a snack or beverage when we needed a lift. The male members of the club ftere there to take care of the heavy duty wot;k which we fragile females could never have

accomplished. Two of thdm were Wiley Christie and Anthony Wayne Robinson. Ill and Wiley told us a great story about Wayne. / WHILE THEY were stu-^ dying at Episcopal^ Academy together they had a third classmate name d Anthony Wayne Ridgway. also the III. According to Wiley. Tony Ridgway was quite a cut up (pun intended). He carved his initials all over the school. Greville Haslam the headmaster, better known as "the Duke." and a stern disciplinarian, called Wayne Robinson tot his office. delivered a withering reprimand and gave Wayne all the demerits too. Wayne was no fink and the Duke never did

discover he punished the wrong boy. We'd like to think the same spirit ob tains today but somehow Swz can't imagine it. S Back to the Best !> Bloomin' Yard Sale. It was a financial bonanza Jan Crego's last* unofficial count was well over $1,000! Imagine having such a great time and a big profit as well. These affairs get the blahs if held annually, but we suspect you'd better start squirreling for year after next. SENIOR CITIZEN of the Year: Gracine McMenamy of 100th Street and her group of Keeping in Touch members gave a delightful garden party July 20. It was held in Gracine's wonderfully large and

landscaped grounds Her garden, of which we have always been envious, has been giving her fits ever since the March 29 storm. It was really awasji for the past month and she has been spending hours and mucho dinero trying to get it in shape for this j luncheon. f The sun finally cooperated the final two days, she got Brian McClarnon to whip the grass into shape and everythying went smoothly. The Board Members of KIT were also the factotum and served all manner of goodies while the S.H Seniors Orchestra played all the guests' requests. Their regular soloists. Sara Brady and Marcelle deLaurenlis did the vocals. Incidentally, this reporter was shocked right i out of her socks when a I comparative newcomer asked "How much does this i orchestra charge? They I really are good ! "

This reporter was blessed or cursed with a very short fuse We answered the question as tartjy as we could without beffng rude, we hope ' These three men spend hours practicing and donate all their playing time lor every worthwhile paffair Kay deLaurentis is J a. retired professional ' musician. Herman Siri is also a pro and Harry S t r o h m e 1 1 is a very taiented' musician and councilman who devotes his time to making people happy " Ray delaurentis was the outstanding attraction at the party, wearing rutfled shorts Harry pretended to Ik- miffed and said. "Some people will do anything for publicity " Ray was right. Harry, ilegot the publicity The laurels go to the members of KIT Our nominee for greatest guest of every party he attends is Bob Yeomans of 1 00 th Street and for -best host Scott Daniels.
