| District 19 Celebrates Louise Lombard's 101st Birthday
Our dear friend, Louise Lombard, turned 101 in November! Louise has been a part of Wenatchee Bridge in Unit 454 for as long as most of us can remember. Louise rarely misses a game and she plays online with many friends. The entire club smiles when Louise starts chuckling (cackling, really) because we know “Weezy has gotten away with another highly unique bid”! May she be with us for many more years of fun. Submitted by Marilyn Olson, Wenatchee Bridge Club President |
