British Club members at the home of Bob Zimdar and Twink Gates
Mary (Twink) Gates
Sunshine and blue skies with a slight breeze was the order of the day on May 18 when 28 members of the British Club met at the home of Bob Zimdar and Twink Gates who were hosting bocce ball games and a potluck picnic. Moving on to the bocce ball courts, some enjoyed playing this fun game while others cheered them on.
Following the games and back at the house, everyone feasted on a delicious selection of potluck food contributed by members and consisting of a selection of salads, quiche, deviled eggs, liver pâté, scalloped potatoes, cheese and charcuterie boards, shrimp with cocktail sauce, and Swedish meatballs.
With freshly brewed coffee and a choice of whisky liquor, the players enjoyed a delicious array of desserts: fruit pie, coconut cream cake, lemon drizzle bundt cake, fresh fruit salad, fresh fruit bowl, and an assortment of chocolates. Accompanying the culinary delights, a refreshing, non-alcoholic fruit punch was served with Malibu Coconut Rum if desired.
A fun time was had by all enjoying the camaraderie of friends, and everyone thanked Bob and Twink for hosting this very delightful, entertaining event.
