Variety women to present Blue Book at luncheon

• on the town • pat gabriel Variety Club Women Tent 33, known as the Women's Committee Variety Children's Hospital locally, will have its own Bicentennial Ad Journal entitled this 1976 as "The Blue Book." The Book will be given to guests at their annual Golden Harvest Luncheon Nov. 23 at the beautiful Fountainbleau. They have to have it there, because their luncheons are always standing room only. The kick off for this new adventure was a coffee at the Miami Shores Country Club, the object being to sell those ads in their fabulous journal for their annual dinner dance. To add incentive to the "Blue Book" (or journal) project, the gal selling the most ads will be crowned Queen for a Day at the luncheon, receiving a diamond encrusted gold heart, symbol of the Variety Women, second, third and fourth will be constitute her royal court. "Blue Book" chairman is Judy (Mrs. Eugene) Sauls, with Bernice (Mrs. Edward) Melnicker, luncheon chairman and Evelyn (Mrs. Fewell) Taylor president of the Women's Committee. Memorable concert If you haven't attended the Marine Concerts this year they are still as popular as ever. Despite gray clouds, the stands filled and more than 100 boaters encircled the stage. John Green gave another of his memorable concerts under a full Miami moon. Harry and Cathy Snyder with Lyle and Jean Lamson aboard settled in for an evening of music and nostalgia. Only one thing marred an otherwise perfect evening, cooking fires on ship board. With eight to 10 large boats rafted together, just one spark and you can imagine the fireworks. It is surprising the authorities allow fires aboard: As for the Lamson's and Snyder's they may never go again. The best birthday Robin Solovei had a marvelous idea to celebrate the 10th of July, a cocktail party and gourmet dinner to honor her handsome husband Bob's natal day. He has joined the rest of us that are 40, the happiest time of our lives. The party began at eight in the lovely light night air and guests lingered on the patio overlooking the pool area and the blue waters of the Bay. No one could have asked for a nicer birthday present. Gold, of course The women golfers of Riviera Country Club have been burning up the fairways and have been hot on the greens, too. Rain or shine, they have been playing golf, so well in fact that in their recent Best Ball Two-some there was a tie for first place and tie for second place. Johanna Hoehl with Jean Long and Jean Lee with Bev Callahan came in at 65 while Elizabeth Lowry with her partner Helen Williams and Betsy Gunn with Jean Birmingham came in second with 67. Hostesses for this event were Jean Long and Babe Dowlen. Lazy days Dick and Dottie Sena revved up their motor home, picked up L.E. and Aileen Cotton and Charlie and Loretta Peabody and set off for a lazy "at home" ride. They stopped in Ft. Lauderdale to see friends, Orlando to see the Peabody's daughter and St. Augustine Beach to stay awhile with Janet and Larry Wayne. Wayne's hideaway sits high on a dune overlooking the ocean. Janet and Larry are spending the summer there, just coming down for special dates. Spoonbills all Nelson and Georgine Burt entertained their Spoonbill Club with cocktails and dinner and dancing at the Country Club of Coral Gables. Spoonbills has been in existence for the past 25 years and is a very successful investment group. Herb and Magda Johnson were there, Magda relaxing a bit after her heavy days for the Metropolitans membership drive. Agnes Wilcox there sans Jake, he had business in Jacksonville and Bob Zahner without petite Eleanor, guesting in the North Carolina mountains. Betty and Dick Poor were on hand as were Joe and Betty Searcell and Vince and Betty Gallaher. Betty Scarcell was celebrating her bon voyage, she left for Scotland and home to see her mom and dad. The Spoonbills, well they are still making money.
