Empty Nesters
SUMMER COOK-IN! NESTERS KICK-OFF SUMMER OF FUN!
The Reunion Empty Nesters got a head start on the Independence Day weekend, as they enjoyed another delicious catered meal, this time fun cook-out, supplied by the talented local caterer, Christy Steele (call Christy at 404.550.2165).
A crowd of about 50 people enjoyed hotdogs, hamburgers, fried chicken, baked potatoes, pasta salad and fresh melons in Reunion’s Meeting House.
The wonderful dinner was hosted by Sarah and Rod McElwee, and was followed by a great desert of Smores, taking many of us back to our childhood days (but, hey, we never outgrow our love for Smores, right?!)
The prizes for the evening came from four Nesters who had a “lucky number” under their chairs.
We’d love to have you join us! If you have no dependent kids at home, you qualify! Please reach out to Nesters co-chair Joanne Giel at joannegiel@yahoo.com .
