The theme of the movie, Field of Dreams, “When we build it, they will come” seems to have applied to the Tiffany Club as 1982 dawned. The friendly environment of the Wayland Club House, the proactive social calendar, and the inspired leadership combined to create the foremost club of its kind in the world. (Not an exaggeration) Open meetings were held twice a week, Tuesday and Saturday, theme parties (St Patrick’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Halloween, Italian Night, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or whatever), with appropriate dinner menu, were held on the last Saturday of the month.
These Five Star Dinners were prepared by members in the house kitchen. At times, there were over one hundred guests; many traveling over a hundred miles, some from as far away as Rochester, New York. One airline pilot even arranged his flight schedule in order to attend. The Club also benefited from support by Barbara Mirlocca from Florence’s Fashions, Gladys Talbot from Gladys Talbot Corset Studio, and Carolyn of Wardrobes by Carolyn.
