From Irish jigs to Zydeco

By Denise Stewart

It was a cultural banquet this month for Scripps Ranch Welcome Club members. Club President Starlene Dahl and her partner Brad Wettlaufer danced the Zydeco and shared the music of the Creole culture at the Welcome Club’s regular monthly meeting.

Many of those attending joined the couple dancing and learning the steps to Louisiana’s energetic music. During the meeting’s social time, to everybody’s delight, pastries from that tasty part of the U.S. were served.

St. Patrick’s Day was celebrated at a Coffee at

Lynn Owens’ home. Lots of traditional Irish specialties along with the friendly chat over a cuppa made the day.

Another Coffee will be coming up in April when Kate Schaap does the hosting.

The Gadabouts group en joyed a lunch gathering at a UTC favorite restaurant. After their meal at Seasons 52, the lure of the retail stores initiated lots of spring shopping experiences. A pre-theatre potluck and viewing of Scripps Ranch Theatre’s presentation of “Neat” will be a major event in April. Bev Macho is organizing that special evening for the group.
