The home of Link Wenda Moore was the setting of the Welcome Tea to introduce and honor the young ladies selected to be the 1981 Link Debutantes. The Tea was the first official opening of the Link Debutante season. Each girl was individually introduced by Links Irece Winans and Fanny Posey as she made her first “debut.” After her introduction, the Debutante was presented a long stem green carnation adorned with white ribbon by Link Wenda Moore.
The 1981 Debutantes are:
Paula Birth, daughter of Mrs. Hazel Birth; Traci Bransford, daughter of Mrs. Jean Bransford and Mr. James Bransford; Andria Canty, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Georgy Canty; Lisa Marie Estes, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Freddie Estes; Terri Gariboldi, daughter of Mrs. Donna G. Johnson; Jane LaVerne Hale, daughter of Mrs. Lorraine Hale and Mr. Willie B. Hale; Melissa Hamilton, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Russell Hamilton; Robin Hickman, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Robert Hickman; Pamela Faye Horton, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Beckwith Horton; Frettra Miller, daughter of Dr. Earl & Mrs. Miller; Jeanette Russell, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Harlan Russell, Jr.; Traci E. Troup, daughter of Dr. & Mrs. Elliott Troup; April Hayes, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Kirk Hayes.
The next activity will be a Valentine’s Brunch at the home of Link Fanny Posey in Burnsville.
