Today would be the last time that we would be celebrating this event at the Whitefish Bay Women's Club; it has been sold. Eileen Kalupa always does such an excellent job making all of the arrangements. Red roses amid baby's breath were on each table. Masks were required. Peter and Franz Schmidt served wine, but no cheese, sausage and crackers because there would be more possibility of contamination. Edith Bergner served desserts (almond crescents, Black Forest torte and another torte); I poured coffee.
The program featured music of Oscar Strauss performed by artists from Chicago that have been performing for us for a number of years. Richard Kuenn concluded the evening with his farewell song with everyone joining in.
So ein Tag wie heute solte nie vergehen drum last uns froelich sein bis wir uns wieder sehen.

I hope Eileen is able to find another venue for this wonderful tribute to Austrian music.
I took two red roses and baby's breath. I picked two hydrangeas from SRS to make this arrangement.
It was a wonderful performance.
