On July 6, The Georgian Club feted a “Gay Nineties” birthday celebration. Lee Pence of Pence Financial Advisors Inc./The Strategic Financial Alliance Inc. hosted the luncheon for his clients ranging in age from 88 to 95.

In attendance were Ruth Milliken, who celebrated her birthday July 6; Hazel Koch, whose 91st birthday is July 27; Joe and Charlotte Bellamy; Julia Adams, celebrating her 96th birthday in a few months; and Libby Horne.

Family and friends in attendance included Stephanie Powell, Patsy Gills of Ft. Mill, S.C., Meri Cotney, Karen Carlisle, Julia and Denny Worth and Beth Pence. Mayor Steve “Thunder” Tumlin, nephew of two of the celebrants, was unable to attend, but hopes to join them next year.

The party enjoyed a wonderful lunch, delicious desserts, and received stunning floral arrangements created by Meri Cotney and delectable miniature pecan praline bundt cakes provided by Powell.

It was a delightful event that Lee hopes to continue hosting when his clients celebrate their hundredth birthdays.
