Our Social Committee is in the process of planning events for 2024. We will keep you informed about planned events.
Join us at the next LPP Coffee social on Tuesday, October 14 at Sol y Luna at 4:30pm in the Laurel Park shopping center. We welcome all to come out and enjoy some time together.
- We are meeting every other month. So the Second Tuesday Gatherings for the rest of 2025 will be October 14. No Gathering in December as we will be hosting our Holiday Party. Thank you to all who have been attending and enjoying our get-togethers.
Cheesy Party – Friday – September 19 @ 4pm
On Friday, September 19 head to the South Park Place cul-de-sac at 4 pm for the Laurel Park Place Annual Cheesy Party! Bring a chair and a dish and/or a beverage to share or just your appetite!
The Social Committee asks that you do not park on South Park Place out of respect for those who live there. You can arrange to drop off your items to share with one of the Social Committee members – Norma Hoglander, Dale Pezzano, Mary Lou Mangam, Elaine Smith, Nancy Meer, Ann Goff, Rosanne Diehl or Jan Woodruff. If you cannot walk to the party, reach out to a committee member to arrange a ride. Rides back home (especially up the hill!) will be provided at the end of the party.
The Social Committee is also asking all attending to bring a pantry or toiletry item for the IAM Pantry.
IAM September requests are:
Pasta, Soup, Canned Meat, Canned Mixed Veggies, Canned Fruit, Healthy Cereal, Oatmeal, Cooking Oil, Spices, Diaper sizes 4,6,7 (no pull-ups), Men’s Stick Deodorant, Razors, Dish soap, Individual Toothbrushes, Laundry Detergent Sheets
Hoping to see you at the Cheesy Party,
*The Social Committee has also asked us to save the date of December 18th for the holiday party… A buffet at Hendersonville Country Club from 6:00 – 9:00. RSVP by December 10th – late RSVPs cannot be honored. Stay tuned for more details from the Social Committee.
One of the wonderful things we have discovered from our monthly coffee gatherings is how many of our residents are involved with a variety of community groups. From community choirs, Art Guild, creating beautiful jewelry, fiber arts and many more, we are an involved and creative group. The Social Committee would like to highlight the endeavors of our residents so that we can support each other. We will not publish any names without permission.
For example, Janice Woodruff sings with the Carolina Concert Choir and they will be providing music at the Visitor’s Center on July 4 at 6pm.
If you would like to share any event, concert, art showing, etc. that you are involved in with the community, please contact Janice Woodruff at readknitcook@gmail.com.
