The Twelve Step~ Brothers
Leyalty Club must be a loyal
bunch! And without a doubt,
they have many loyal friends.

j witness the jam-packed - Til
Morocco Inn Sunday evening
where they held their matinee.
Shortly after six, the SRO
sign was.put out.
turned out ~en masse~ for ~the~
party of the month!

Under the capable direction of
the club~s prexy, ~Mr. Personality~ himself, Al Garner, everything was carried out with
the precision. and the glamour
vf a Broadway play on opening
night,

The guests were seated at the
beautifully appointed tables with
finesse and courtesy that Buckingham Palace might well envy.
The 12 Step Brothers were
the classiest ~Waiters~ this side
of the Waldorf! Attired in stiff
white bell-boy type jackets and
black trousers they almost stole
the show!

Jeff Jefferson~s aggregation
supplied the music, and as an
added attraction the Floyd
Lumpkins and Johnny Beatty
formed a trio and sang many old
favorites,

Floyd Lumpkins~ solo, ~Every

| Day I Have the Blues,~ had the

Socialites,

party that will be long remembered by Flint citizens.:

The music played sofily( and
at times not too softly) The
food served buffet style was
delicious, and the guest~s danced
until the early yawning.

Maggie Lewis was stunning).
