S.B. hits the Club scene
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A most gracious group of ladies met at East Lake Golf Club last week for a “Ladies of the Club” luncheon.
Edith Vinson, an Atlanta native who’s been a member of East Lake for more than 40 years, organized the outing. Her idea was to bring together ladies who had been affiliated with East Lake over the years. Nearly everyone on the invitation list attended, with a few having to send regrets due to illness or conflict.
After about a half-hour of chit chat, the group enjoyed a buffet lunch of cream of mushroom soup, salad, grilled chicken, green beans and rice and cookies for dessert. The room filled with memories as the luncheon began.
Elaine Bonner, whose parents were members, recalled spreading out quilts on the lawn during summertime barbecues. Anita Womack was proud to note that her husband, the late J.C. Womack, made the wooden markers for the best golf scores, now hanging in the bar.
Helen Henley, née McWhorter, became a member when she married in 1943 and is still thrilled to tell you about her hole-in-one in 1950. “I never managed to get any more,” she confessed.
Attendees included Barbara Allard, Carol Brasher, Ginky Budd, Sis Budd, Shirley Davis, Renee Day, Jane Maas Edwards, Billie Finley, Mary Garner, Emily Grigsby, Carroll Lindseth, Myree Maas, Jerry Patrick, Rachel Robertson, Sissy Saroka, Jo Thach, Kirby Vanderyt and Doris Wimbish.
A half-century of fashion flair
The 50th annual Ebony Fashion Fair, benefiting the Atlanta Alumnae chapter of Delta Sigma Theta sorority, is planned for 4 p.m. Feb. 17 at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre.
The event, themed Glam Odyssey: A Fashion Journey Into Bliss & Beyond, will feature models in hot designer creations. In the past the event has allowed the chapter to award more than $25,000 in scholarships to deserving Atlanta Public Schools seniors.
Tickets are $50 for orchestra level and $45 for mezzanine level. A VIP reception from 2 to 3 p.m. is an additional $10. Each ticket includes a choice of a one-year subscription to Ebony magazine or a six-month subscription to Jet magazine.

Breaking Bow Tie News
Here’s a missive from one Kirk Edward Hinckley, whose bow tie operation is strategically located just south of the Mason-Dixon Line:
“Just wanted to let you know about our website: www.bowtieclub.com. We have been producing hand made silk bow ties in Maryland for over 14 years. The location should please both Northerners and Southerners alike!”
I took a look at his Web site and he has some gorgeous ties. I wish I’d known about his Black Watch or Prince of Wales tartans before the holidays. They’re smashing.
Locally, William Leecan let me know about his bow tie outfit, Untie. They’re reversible. Neat!
Can anyone tell me where to find a bow tie with a butterfly pattern?
