“As the inventory is beginning to pick up ever so modestly, we are still facing a housing shortage, but we may have turned a corner.” - Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist, NAR
“It looks like existing inventory is starting to inch up, which is good news for a housing market parched for more supply.”
- Odeta Kushi, Deputy Chief Economist, First American
“The influx of new sellers over the last couple of months has helped slow price gains and given buyers hope that they will be able to find a home that is a good fit.” - Danielle Hale, Chief Economist, realtor.com

NOVEMBER 2021 Eight Reunion players continued to improve their pickleball play by participating in an Intermediate Clinic conducted by Susan Chambers on September 7. Susan was assisted by her husband Brad and from all reports the participants had fun while learning some new skills. Shirley Weaver, our talented and most loyal player, continues her devotion to Reunion pickleball through another of her creations. She embroidered commemorative towels for each of the Reunion players who participated in the August Tournament at Chateau Elan. The Pickleball courts are reserved for open play most Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9–11am and some weekday evenings from 7–9pm; however, specific days vary. There are no leagues or teams, we just play matches and have fun. You are invited to come join us and we’ll help you get started.
You can find more information on equipment, court reservations, clinics, lessons, etc. on the Reunion Pickleball Facebook page: www.facebook.com/groups/reunionpickleball; the community Facebook pages, the Reunion Website and Emails. Want to join Reunion’s Pickleball Players or Have Questions: Contact us at: ReunionPickleball@gmail.com

The Empty Nester Group of Reunion Country Club convened at The Meeting House for their monthly gathering on the evening of September 18th. Everything seemed quite normal for an Empty Nester gathering. There was a short period during which the attendees mingled and socialized; there was the normal brief informational meeting for announcements and to cover a little group business; of course, there was the delicious food served as normal consisting of a buffet of covered dishes, but then with the entertainment segment of the evening things became quite different. Hosts for the night’s event were Sarah & Rod McElwee and Marilyn Henderson and their idea for the edification and entertainment of the crowd was very unique. It was a game called, “Author, Author”. In the game the group was divided into four person teams and the teams were provided with four index cards. The captain, or lead person, of each team was asked to select a genre and a title for a short story and to write the first four lines of their story on card number one. Line five of the story was to be written on card number two and card number two was passed to player number two with no indication of what had been written on card number one. Player number two was, then, to continue the story from line five with four lines of his or her interpretation of the ongoing story with the last line being written on card number three and passed to player number three to continue the routine and likewise to player number four until all four cards were a completed story to be read aloud by the team leader. The group tackled and managed the literary challenge quite well with the completed “stories” being surprisingly well written and entertaining with good continuity and structure. Everyone seemed to enjoy the novelty of a new game and all “authors” received participation awards for their imagination and efforts. Many thanks go out to Sarah, Marilyn and Rod for hosting a very enjoyable event. Also, the usual heap of thanks goes to those who helped with setup of The Meeting House for the event and clean up afterward.
