Attendees At Apollo Beach Woman’s Club Mystery Theater Luncheon Figure Out Whodunnit!
Over 150 people arrived at the South Shore Falls Clubhouse on March 10 to enjoy the Apollo Beach Woman’s Club’s (ABWC) second annual Mystery Theater Luncheon: The Chicago Caper put on by the Pelican Players. The fundraiser was even bigger and better than last year’s success.
Throughout the Chicago-style luncheon, catered by Econ Deli, the talented actors of the Pelican Players delighted the audience with their presentation of the mystery as everyone tried to figure out ‘whodunnit?’ Attendees also enjoyed a sumptuous array of desserts that were ‘to die for,’ contributed by ABWC members and coordinated by Peggy Palmieri.
The event, including an auction and raffle, raised more money than last year, with all proceeds going to the ABWC college scholarships. Photos can be viewed at www.apollobeachwomansclub.com/index.html.
