This was contributed by Kathleen Novicki, from her grandmother, Hazel B. Allen’s diaries.  Kathleen tells me, "Her diaries reveal she loved social gatherings.  I am amazed how busy they were at entertaining- it seemed nearly every night they would eat dinner at someone's home or someone was eating dinner at their home.  Evenings were spent playing cards or playing music and singing."  Kathleen sent in this wonderful photograph of her grandmother and a friend.

Kathleen writes "that the following list of social's were directly transcribed with spelling and spacing as seen below.  (The names in parentheses are names that I added for clarification- they are based on her diaries).  Please email me if you realize any needed corrections in spelling." knovicki@aol.com
