The Guild of the Birmingham Music Club Presents 9 Scholarships During Tablescapes Luncheon Members of The Guild of the Birmingham Music Club perused tablescape designs to the background of piano music during the club’s “A Royal Repost” luncheon Oct. 17 at The Country Club of Birmingham. Nine scholarships were presented to students studying music in Alabama colleges and universities. They were selected during the Guild’s annual spring scholarship competition. The Tablescapes Scholarship Luncheon raises money to support the Guild’s scholarship program. Event committee members this year were Victoria Hallman, Lochrane
Coleman Smith and Ann Vrocher. Eyleen Widjanarko provided the piano music and a harp performance by Abigail Workman was a highlight of the event. Volunteers for the luncheon were Linda Griggs, Cindy Bowman, Miriam Morris, Judy Anderson and Kay Clark. Brian Hood, Janice Bowman and Shannon Watson, all from Bromberg’s, judged the competition. They gave first place to Margaret Hubbard and Lisa Venable for their “Singin’ in the Rain” display; second to Pat Grant for “Silver Linings;” and third to John Robinson and Victoria Hallman for “The
Ramblers ... Birmingham’s Rock ‘n Roll Royalty.” Stifel was a contributing sponsor
of the event. Fortississimo contributors were Cheree Carlton and Judy Anderson. ❖
