As spring comes to ‘09, birds are singing, flowers are blooming and the mimosas are flowing freely. And who likes to celebrate spring more than the Military Civilian Club at their annual Fiesta bash? This party always brings the who’s who out of the woodwork to honor all the Fiesta military ambassadors.  Joe and Margie Rust And, not to be outdone, King Antonio Billy Atwell came to the party and brought all of his best friends such as his Day Aide Barry Roberts and Cavalier Commander Stephen Cavender.  Prime Minister Jorge Gonzalez, Fiesta Teen Queen Meredith Rogers, El Rey Feo Fernando Reyes and Royal Consort Norma Reyes And after tiptoeing through the tulips with the military, I joined the Gardenia and Musical Club at Club Giraud for the “A Night in Old San Miguel” scholarship fundraiser. There I met Liz Jauer, Margaret Cusenbery and Betty Rodgers from the board of directors as well as event chairs Nancy Torgerson and Veronica Boldt and their hubbies Vernon “Torgie” Torgerson and Dr. John Boldt.  Gardenia Club board members Liz Jauer, Margaret Business partners and sisters Camilla Basse and Amber Long donated 25 percent of sales that evening and the entire opening week to Sunshine Cottage and Southwest School of Art and Craft.  Military Club President Martha Young and Brig. Gen. David Young Talk about a week of flower power!
