The Queen celebrates two birthdays every year. Her birth date is on April 21st and that is celebrated privately at the palace and her "official" birthday is celebrated on Saturday in June where she traditionally appears on the balcony of Buckingham Palace with members of the Royal family after the Trooping of Colors Ceremony is over. This is a tradition that was started by George II in 1748 and it owes its origins to the ageless problem of the English weather.

Our April Event at The Lakewood Country Club this last weekend was so well received by everyone that attended, that for those of you that missed it, you really did......miss it! Martha Tiller brought her own private and public photos from her time as Press Secretary to President LB Johnson and Lady Bird Johnson, along with special stories and insight to their ranch, parties and library.
A big "Thank You" to Betty Baskett for allowing us the use of the facilities at Lakewood Country Club. The hors d'oeuvres, steak and peach cobbler would have made LBJ very happy.
