The good old days at the YWCA
Fay Martin/The Oak Ridger
The YWCA was the place to be in the old days. There were relaxing coffee times and just socializing with friends in the big room. Among the friends whom we think of enjoying coffee and fellowship in those days are Lee Crotinger, Louise Spray, Elaine Trauger, Anne Voelker, Barbara Becker, Rose Weaver, Cande Seay, Kathleen Stephens, Colleen Black and Becky Rushton.
There were so many different programs that were available for one to enjoy. One popular program was the tour of local gardens. The Garden Tour Committee would select about four gardens and the owners would work on them to make them appealing to the public. On the tour day there would also be a luncheon. Several members helped with the preparations for the luncheon, and I remember Susie Ferguson having her husband, Rob, help with the decoration of the lunch boxes. It was a wonderful time touring the luxurious gardens and later enjoying the festive lunch.
