Rita Wannemacher tried on her wedding dress yesterday and it fit perfectly.
She even worn it during a wedding dress "show" at the Bluffton University Institute for Learning in Retirement's ladies tea on May 22.
Did we mention that Rita first wore the dress in 1938? Her dress was not the oldest shown at the tea. Ruth Burcky's dress from the early 1920s, won that prize. There were other dresses that came out of storage for the day. Many others.
Two members of the Bluffton Lions Club were honored recently. The Melvin Jones Fellowships were presented to Robert Barnett and Gene Long at the May 7 club meeting.
This is the highest award that a Lion can receive and is presented as recognition of humanitarian work done. Barnett recently received recognition as a 50 year member. Long has been a Lion since 1976.
