Retirement Party: A retirement party was hosted by Rusheon Middle School principal Judy Madden for Kathy “K.J.” Wilfong, who retired after many years as a staff member at the Bossier City school. Wilfong’s fellow staffers, teachers and friends gathered after school to wish her well and enjoyed sandwiches, cake and punch. Wilfong was joined by her good friends Lou Gehrig Burnett, Cynthia Hightower Jenkins and Charlie and Barbara Davis for, as Wilfong put it, the bitter-sweet event.

Engagement Party: Arby’s held an engagement party March 19 for Ruben Villarreal and Rachel Soliz at the restaurant located at 9600 Highway 80 in Greenwood. Arby’s is promoting the sandwich duo Rueben and Rachel, sort of a “his and hers” take on deli classics. After the ads for the sandwiches aired, Arby’s received a call from Villarreal and Soliz, an engaged Greenwood couple who both love Arby’s, jokingly thanking the brand for naming the sandwiches after them. Arby’s was delighted that they reached out and after learning Soliz recently lost her engagement ring, decided to work out a plan with Villarreal to purchase a new ring and host an engagement party to celebrate the couple’s love.
