Grand Shimmers Bridge Club for their annual, soul food Valen-
tine's Day Sweetheart celebration. The Sat Feb. 1post holiday
event was a fun time—a prescribed cure for winter doldrums. Even
the guys had a joyous time, particularly during the pre-game pe-
riod, listening to the chatting and watching the comical antics of
their spouses and special friends. Liter, the guys turned to the
"tube" and viewed a couple of exciting basketball games.
At the buffet table, most plates were filled to capacity The de-
lightful menu included both roasted and fried chicken, meatballs in
brown gravy, candied yams, vegetable medley, diced tomatoes,
green onions and royal velvet cake dessert Waistlines were ignored
and frivolous talk was almost non-existent as everyone enjoyed fine
dining enhanced by beautiful china, crystal stemware and gold
plated eating utensils.
White napkins decorated with red hearts, heart-shaped lol-
lipops and large stuffed hearts suspended on strings were pleasant
holiday reminders. Everyone signed a sympathy card to Charle-
Jones, husband of club president Alberta Jones, whose mother had
passed away.
A luxurious three-piece black pantsuit was the club's gift to
"birthday girl" Ruth Gaines. Kay Hamilton was introduced as a
new member and welcomed into the club. Prize winners at bridge

attempts to involve "top guns" brought only sympathy, the publi-
cation of facts uncovered by KIM ELLIS motivated the national
group to ACTION.
Fortunately, this occurred just when Mrs. Gates and her
group were getting a little weary. KIM ELLIS became the bridge
connecting the Tulsa group to the Reparations Committee We are
also pleased to have the co-publisher of The Oklahoma Eagle as part
of the legal team providing services on a pro bono basis. These civil
