"BYE-BYE MARGARET"!

"BYE BYE MARGARET!
WE'RE GONNA MISS YOU SO,

WE'LL CRY MARG-ARET,

WHY'D YA HAVE TO GO?!"

 Well Readers, I hate to write these kinds of post... but it comes in the territory of running a social club. Our dear Margaret Head Pastry Chef and long time Chairman of the "eats" committee is moving to Tennessee in a few weeks, and we just hate to see her go!

(Friends Patricia, Jordan, Seigen, Jennifer, & Margaret!)

Margaret, being a life time council member of the Casablanca requested to have a small going away dinner party in her honor. She made the guest list, picked her own menu, and we did the rest!

To commemorate the occasion, we dined on the special I Love Lucy "American Ivy" Franciscan dishes, and sipped tea from the Libbey Golden Foliage Mad Men glasses! It was nice to sit around having a casual dinner of chicken and ravioli, after which we had a special cookie cake that Patricia made for dessert.

As a special going away present and inside joke, 

I used my artistic prowess to make Margaret her very own show poster! 

(A spoof on the hit musical "Bye Bye Birdie"!)

Gosh Margaret, we sure are going to miss you around here, why'd ya have to go?!  Luckily, having family living here, Margaret will be sure to come visit us every now and then. We are all so excited for your new life in Tennessee, and wish you all the very best!

"WE LOVE YOU MAR-GAR-ET,

OH YES WE DO, 

WE LOVE YOU MAR-GAR-ET,

AND WE'LL BE TRUE.

WHEN YOU'RE NOT WITH US,

WE'RE BLUE!
OH MAR-GAR-ET WE LOVE YOU!"
