With 67 party reservations a large group of
Westwood Village Rotarians enjoyed "Peggy's Dude Ranch" Saturday night,
August 28, at a festive party sponsored by the club's Auxiliary. Rosalind and Don Nelson, co-chairs, lead the group from decorating Peggy Bloomfield's gardens with twinkle lights, bandanas and hurricane candles, to heading the cleanup crew the next day. A Rotary duo fiddled Western tunes and a cowboy BBQ featured barbecued ribs, cole slaw and baked beans. Shirley More designed the old-fashioned strawberry shortcake dessert while Don and Steve Day were bartenders. Margie Downie and Leo Tseng supplied the lighting and Eloise Siskel headed the table decorations committee. Guests' Western outfits included lots of turquoise and boots, straw hats with Rotary buttons, and more than one Rotarian stashed a beverage in his holster. Among the guests were former Westwood Rotarians including Bill Bloomfield from Manhattan Beach and Betty and Ralph Woodworth from Palm Springs. Pat Anderson |
