“Lots Da Fun” reads the invitation of the Miami Dental Auxiliary whose members and their dentist husbands will have a progressive dinner, Italian-style Saturday. Dr. and Mrs. L. D. Pankey, 5343 Orduna Dr., will welcome the group for cocktails and the tiny “pizza's” will be the hors d'oeuvres. Dinner will be served in the new enlarged patio at the home of Dr. and Mrs. C. J. (Pappy) Coleman, 1232 Alegriano, where colorful table cloths will cover the many tables decorated with Italian wine bottles. Spaghetti dinner with wine will be served. Dessert will be had at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Edward Petrow, 5730 SW 56th St. ★ ★ ★ Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bennecke are now residing in their new home at 467 Loretto Ave., moving from 945 Viera Ave. their former home. The Benneckes' gave a buffet supper recently welcoming home their friends, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Boyd Brown, 5906 Mall St., and a going away party for Mr. and Mrs. Earl Shurtz of 1250 Alhambra Cir. Other guests included the Jack Cohens, the Hugh Wilsons, Thory Bennecke, Beverly Sonnen and Rod and Wade McElwain. ★ ★ ★ Sad note is the news to their many Coral Gables friends of Dr. Kenneth C. Wittich's and his wife, Clara's, moving to Miami Shores, where they have taken a house directly across the street from his office. The Wittichs reside at 140 Almeria, and their son, Ken Jr., and some of his friends will be keeping up the second floor apartment. Mrs. Wittich took their daughter, Ann, who made her debut in the presentation ball last year at the Coral Gables Country Club, to Knoxville, Tenn., in August, where Ann entered the University of Tennessee. She pledged to Kappa Delta Sorority (her mother's sorority) and has been elected president of her pledge class of 30 girls. The Wittichs' son Arthur has returned to Florida State College for his second year, working toward a medical degree. Clara and the doctor hope to be back in their Gables home soon. Ken suffered a coronary attack and was unable to drive or walk much and that is the reason for the move.
