Thank You: Thanks again dearest Gina. I was particularly worried by

the color of my dress, but after a short while I felt at home with the wonderful people that I met & specially with the help & experience of the visiting chef & the help he provided. I thought I was going to be introduced to young people (like my niece), but, to my pleasant surprise most of the members were professionals of more or less my same age. I was delighted by the opportunity to practice again my profession & they invited me to become a permanent member of the Board.

I certainly declined the honor because I am not ready to postpone my retirement, even in an ad honorem job, but I offered my help whenever it would be necessary & I would be available. (good for me, I am learning to say NO with the utmost diplomacy!).

The food was lovely & of course it was served with great flair & professionalism. The cocktail after the activity was excellent, & the guests lingered until almost 5PM. My Lydia & her daughter did an excellent job after, cleaning & ordering the terrace and kitchen. I had the opportunity to enjoy the afternoon without being exhausted! What a lovely evening!

Thanks for asking!
