Our Social Committee is in the process of planning events for 2024.  We will keep you informed about planned events.

Starting on Tuesday, May 14 at 4:30 pm, we will be having a “happy hour” gathering at Sol y Luna instead of our morning coffee gatherings.  This will continue through the summer months on the second Tuesday of each month. Just like the Coffee Social, everyone will pay their own way.  We feel this will let folks who are not available to meet at the morning social a chance to participate.

You are invited to BurntShirt Vineyards in Hendersonville on Thursday, May 30 at 4:00 pm.  This will be a pay-as-you-go event.  BurntShirt has a lovely kitchen, the food is wonderful, and there are plenty of choices. The dining room has a beautiful setting with a large stone fireplace and a nice outside seating area if it is warm enough.

Here is a link to their menu.   Be sure to scroll down to see the Thursday-Sunday options

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.
