Thursday, December 15, 2022--USC TGLA Meeting at Altadena Town and Country Club
Trojan Candy arrived at the Altadena Town and Country Club as soon as I could for the USC TGLA Holiday meeting. I was a little late, because I teach a Tai Chi class on Thursday mornings. Once inside, I started taking pictures as soon as I could.
Here is my picture of the two TGLA ladies who checked us all in. They were joined by three friends. From left to right standing are Sandy Johnston, Oksana Giebeler and Julie Pircher. Check-in ladies who are seated are Ann Proctor and Mary Hall.
Next, I started taking pictures as quickly as I could.
Four TGLA members who were sorority sisters as undergrads posed for me. They were Jean Getchell, Sharon Schmidt, Nancy Sommers and Cathy Anderson.
Sitting nearby was new TGLA member Kathie Austin.
Two more new members posed for my picture. They were Franci Agajanian and Rose Sapia.
At the next table were Patti Madden, Bob Leach, and Sherry De Friese.
At the same table were Cheryl and Elliott Schwartz.

As I worked my way around the room, I took a picture of Ann Palmer and Mary Hall, who were standing behind Carol Wright and new member Kandi Wopshall.
At the next nearby table, Trojan Candy saw Mary Hall and her guests. Mary and Patricia Tucker stood for my picture. Seated were Mary’s husband Milton and their neighbors Mary and Al Whittlesey.

Finally, I made it to my table. Smiling were Lulu Louie-Wong, Rosalee Pechersky, Alnita Dunn, and Betty Gross.
Oksana finally made it back to her table. She and her husband Norman posed with Oksana’s Dad and Mom, Michael and Nina.
Trojan Candy was able to gather five new TGLA members for this picture with our President Sandy Johnston and our V.P. Membership Ann Proctor. From left to right are Kathie Austin, Kandi Wopshall, Laurie De Sanctis, Sandy, Ann, Marcia Montez, and Karen Chima.
Trojan Candy had to leave early, so I took my lunch home with me. Before I left, I asked Karen Chima to take pictures of each new member as they were introduced to the members. I also asked Karen to have someone take her picture. I chose Karen because she was walking around, like me, taking pictures with her cellphone. Karen sent me the following pictures that she took of the new members being introduced. THANK YOU, so much Karen!
Ann Proctor introduced Kandi Wopshall first.
Marcia Montez was introduced next.
The third new member was Laury DeSanctis.
Ann introduced our fourth new member Karen Chima.
CONGRATULATIONS, Ladies, and WELCOME!
What an event filled USC TGLA Holiday meeting.
