Doubles."
The club’s guiding light, Wendy Carduner,
filled the gorgeous space with more than 2800 fuchsia pink and
metallic yellow balloons, each with organza ribbons trimmed in
blush or amber satin.
Peter Duchin and his band played and
champagne corks popped as such guests as Sharon Bush,
Gerald Tsai, Tina Flaherty, Sandy and Michael
Meehan, Ambassador Albert and Audrey del Rosario,
John Punnett, Jane Gould, Charles Mirotznick, Jane and Joseph
Pontarelli, and Arlene Dahl and Marc Rosen
danced until the bewitching hour.
A night or two later came their Mai-Tai Madness Party, complete
with tiki torches, Polynesian masks and palm trees swaying to

Griggs, Betsy Pitts, Mimi Moulton, Wibbly
Sevener, Sean and Tenley Black, Alexandra
