More than 70 members and guests enjoyed an elegant al fresco dinner at the home of member Blaun-Eva Brewton and her husband Hiram in their spectacular gardens, terraced down an Anacostia hillside.
The Club said farewell to long-time member Ann Erdman, who is moving to Delaware this summer, and invited her back for next year's dinner.
Death by Mussette, a duo with Michael Lease on the accordion and Todd Shelar on the mandolin and guitar, performed throughout the evening. Michael is a photographer/artist from Richmond and a self-taught accordionist. Todd is a classical guitarist and the son of Jim and Sandy. The musicians met at Frostburg State University.
President Jim Shelar announced that, despite the Eastern Market fire, arrangements have been made for the Club's annual bulb sale fundraiser to continue this fall on the Saturday farmers' line in 7th Street.

What a lovely tribute to the Brewtons. Thanks so much for posting this. The link to the Washington Post article highlighting Hiram and Blaun was a special surprise. They are joyful friends. It was great fun working with them on the annual gathering. Regards, Elizabeth Allenbach
