Colonial Dames Take the Spotlight with Simultaneous Spectacles

Joe and Langdon Opperman with Mary Love MacArthur, Winfield Duss and Elizabeth Howard
The Florida chapter of the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America marked its 2024 annual meeting with a two-part celebration at Timuquana Country Club. Belles, Beaux & BBQ kicked off May 1 with a bar-b-cue, silent auction, mystery wine game and dancing. The event raised funds for the organization’s signature Ximenez-Fatio House in St. Augustine, Florida. Ellen Stark and Allison Crisp served as the event’s co-chairs. The Colonial Dames returned the next morning to hear speaker Joseph Oppermann, a noted architect, historian and restorationist, followed by a group luncheon.
