This includes both the house itself, as well as driveways and sidewalks.

“It was a great night with great food, great friends and laughter,” said Empty Nester co-chair Joanne Giel, summing up the Empty Nester February meeting. Joanne and husband Mike are this year’s co-chairs.

While tradition has been for each of the Nesters to bring a dish to the monthly event at the Reunion Meeting House, this get-together took a different approach.

“We had a lot of discussion about having our food catered each month or every other month, so we have decided to go with every month,” said Joanne.

The caterer chosen for the monthly dinners is local chef Christy Steele of Mario’s Pizza and Wings on Gaines Ferry Road in Flowery Branch. The Empty Nester menu included lasagna, chicken marsala, mashed potatoes, salad and veggie tray, with some incredible brownies and tarts for dessert! Even better, the meal came at a terrific price!

The entertainment included some getting-to-know-you-better questions, where random Empty Nester guests drew numbers. Among the “winners” (pictured here) were Jim & Judy Strawn, Carol Brody, Don Smith and Bill Humble—and they and most of the others good-naturedly answered questions like: what do you collect and who do you trust for advice other than your spouse? Joanne thanked them all for their entertainment and also recognized Fran Bridwell and Liz Rush, who volunteered to host the March meeting on March 18th.

Would you like to join this fun bunch? You can be single or married but the only requirement is that you are truly an Empty Nester (no dependent kids living at home!). Come join the fellowship of Reunion’s greatest organization—you’ll have a blast and make friends for life! If you’re interested, contact co-chair Joanne Giel at joannegiel@yahoo.com.

“There is nothing like living in Reunion and being an Empty Nester!”—Joanne Giel
