For Mildred Richmond’s 99th birthday, on Saturday, May 22, the Great Bay Women’s Club, of which she has been a treasured member for 38 years, staged a congratulatory parade by her Oakleaf Drive house in Little Egg Harbor Township.
“She has served loyally, giving of herself with numerous knitted and crocheted items, wheelchair bags, etc. for nursing homes, Providence House and veterans homes.
