Jordyn’s Wish Transforms Her From Patient to Princess
Jordyn, a 6-year-old who has received multiple organ transplants, has always admired princesses. During one particularly long hospital stay, her medical team and nurses began referring to her as “Princess Jordyn,” a name Jordyn thought was quite fitting. When Make-A-Wish volunteers visited Jordyn to help determine her heartfelt wish, she knew right away that she wanted to be a princess and have a tea party. After a full morning of princess pampering, including getting her hair, nails, and makeup done, the time of her party was drawing near. She settled into the horse-drawn carriage for a ride around the grounds of The Founder’s Inn, before arriving at the front entrance. She stepped out of the carriage and several princesses joined her as she made her grand entrance. Jordyn grinned as the camera shutters clicked away as her guests greeted her. Inside, the room had been transformed to be a perfect fit for a princess tea party, with a beautiful cake, a violinist playing some of her favorite songs, tiered trays of finger sandwiches, and tables elegantly decorated for the occasion. Her smile was contagious as she spent time with each of her guests; she loved being the center of attention! Next to her at the head table sat her mom, and princesses surrounding her on each side. The tea party was drawing to a close, but not before Jordyn ensured each guest had a slice of the delicious cake that was adorned with a glittering tiara. A crowd gathered in two lines outside the entrance to Jordyn’s limo, and each guest cheering and blowing bubbles to make the end of Jordyn’s wish day as spectacular as possible. Jordyn’s princess tea party was simply enchanting. It was a day Jordyn won’t soon forget, and the memories she made with her mom by her side will be cherished forever.

(just outside of Fredericksburg). You may be thinking “Who is Gari Melcher?” He was a twentieth century American artist who made a good living through his craft and earned critical praise. Gari's paintings are in collections worldwide. The historic house at Gari Melcher Home and Studio possesses a rich history that dates back to the 1790's. The Melchers bought the house in 1916. The house and studio contain 1,677 paintings and drawings by Gari Melcher and an additional 414 works of other artists. The house has 3,000 items of furniture, decorative objects and books. The gardens are beautiful and there are walking trails to explore. We will be meeting there at 10:30 for the tour. The tour is $10. We can have a boxed lunch at the house but we need a total of 15 orders. There are two choices: trio salad combo, tossed greens topped with egg salad, tuna salad, and chicken salad, roll, cookie or brownie, drink or Turkey and Sharp Cheddar Sandwich, pasta salad, chips, cookie or brownie and drink. The cost is $15. The lunch is optional but we need to know 5 days before the tour. We will let you know if we have enough orders for the boxed lunch. There are restaurants in the area. Please RSVP Arline or Jan by April 22. We can pay at the tour.
AvidReaders:2ndTuesdayofthemonthat11:00amFaithDashewski 540-898-3822 [email protected] 938-7148 [email protected] April read is The Lost Wife by Alyson Richman. “In pre-war Prague, the dreams of two young lovers are shattered when they are separated by the Nazi invasion. Then, decades later, thousands of miles away in New York, there's an inescapable glance of recognition between two strangers. Providence is giving Lenka and Josef one more chance. From the glamorous ease of life in Prague before the Occupation, to the horrors of Nazi Europe, The Lost Wife explores the power of first love, the resilience of the human spirit- and the strength of memory.” [from GoodReads.com] We will meet on Tuesday, April 11th at 11:00 am at the Grapevine Restaurant at11055 Three Chopt Rd, Richmond, VA 23233. Please contact Faith by April 4th to reserve a place and get directions if needed.

Bridge–Marathon:MonthlyPatDeutsch 794-7355 [email protected] 2/3 of the matches have been played, just a couple months left now. We’ve had 19 slams, and the scores are competitive. In one group, four teams are all within 400 points of each other, having played the same number of matches. One extra vulnerable game will pull one team away from the pack. Every extra trick counts! Two teams have already completed all of their matches.
Deadline: May 20. All matches must be completed by then and the score sheets sent to me within a day or two after that. No exceptions. Please plan ahead for those May matches.
Next year. If you want to join in the fun next year, please write a $10 check payable to New Virginians and mail it to me @ 14018 Shawhan Ct., Midlothian 23114. I do not assume that you are continuing in Marathon until I have your check. New Marathon players are more than welcome to join. You do need a partner, but if you don’t have one, I know there are other ladies who are looking for partners and we can facilitate that meet-up.
Year-end luncheon – June 7 @ Hermitage Country Club. (approx. 9am – 2pm) We play a little bridge, have some lunch and hand out prizes. All Marathon players are welcome, including new players who are signing up for next year. I will list the menu in the next Welcome Mat and begin taking reservations then.

Major Pettigrew, a widower and pillar of the community, values all things proper: honor, duty and decorum until his life is changed by the developing friendship with Mrs. Ali. Drawn together by their shared love of literature and the loss of their respective spouses, they find friendship blossoming into something more.
