The Fifth Wednesday Bridge Club met on September 30 at The Holland House for lunch and bridge. Hostesses for the event were Ray Fleming and Marianne Enochs.
The lunch tables were beautifully decorated with arrangements of flowers and tiny pumpkins as centerpieces. The tables were covered in cloths which complimented the fall theme. Lunch was served on lovely china which added to the festive mood. Everyone seemed so excited to be together again even with masks and hand sanitizer!
After lunch the members and guests adjourned to the bridge room which was set up with three card tables, pots of coffee, ice water, and nibbles. Cards were dealt and the bridge games began. It was a lively group with much laughter and conversation. It was such a pleasant way to spend a lovely day.
