The Valley Line: ‘Floaters’ convene at Community Center for their most recent happy hour
Maureen Bond, executive director of Community Center, greeted guests to the Chevy Chase Drive facility when they arrived March 23 to have fun at the monthly Happy Hour of La Cañada Flintridge Tournament of Roses Assn.
It was a delightful gathering to exchange neighborhood news, talk about next year’s Rose Parade float and of course still celebrate the award-winning float “Panda-Monium” that pleased the crowd and won an award at this year’s parade.
People attending the mixer brought along a wide array of hors d’oeuvres to share. There were cookies and other sweet munchies, too.
Among those having fun were Art Johnson, Pat and Otis Hutchins, Bob Wallace, Mike Davitt, Lynne and Joe Thompson, Jeff Hemphill, Nancy and Mike Leininger, Harriet Hammons, Ann Neilson, Daryal and Mary Gant, Frank and Jenny Pass, Bobbie and Clyde Hemphill, Chuck Terhune, David Moffet, Lorie MacKenzie, Nancy and John Wolhaupter, Pam Wiedenbeck, Dorothy Rubine, Pam Foltyn, Larry Andreason, Eremita Miranda, Cathy and Pete Palermo, Brenda and Len Pieroni, Bill and Brett Pounders, Barbie Eland, Cindy Crane, Barbara and Jack Dawson, Dee and Fraser Draper, Richard Grippi, Jennifer and Steven Hronek, and Sara Cardine.
