embers of Josephine Circle met at The Crescent Club for a holiday luncheon honoring its six new members. After welcoming remarks, club president Sue Taylor wished all members the joy of the season. The theme of “Joy” was her motto during her year as president. “Joy comes from the meaningful work of helping others,” Taylor said. She turned the mike over to program chair Tommie Pardue, who introduced a surprise guest, opera diva Kallen Linda Photopulos, Nan Buck Esperian. Accompanied by Gary Beard, Esperian sang Christmas carols, and as an and Linda Ashmore encore performed an aria from “Carmen.” Josephine Circle provides scholarships and no-interest loans for students pursuing college and graduate degrees.
