Empty NESTERS CORNER
EMPTY NESTERS’ Observe “Heritage Night” On the evening of the 25th of June the Empty Nester group of Reunion Country Club held their second annual Heritage Night festivities. Forth-two members of the group gathered at The Meeting House to acknowledge and celebrate the various genealogical backgrounds and family ties of their fellow Empty Nester members. As with all Reunion Empty Nester functions the two primary ingredients for success were food and fellowship (in that order, by the way) with dishes being brought by individual members that were symbolic or traditional to their country or area of family origin. Not surprisingly, there was a varied assortment of culinary offerings from polish sausage based recipes to sour kraut to southern fried chicken (country of origin, “Dixie”). Following the very enjoyable dinner hour and a round of fellowship, the group enjoyed an evening of old fashioned

Bingo. Barbara Hasaka did an outstanding job as “caller” as the group had five separate competitions. Winners of the $10 cash prizes were George Hasaka, Sue Dennis, Don Dennis and Bruce Gray. Hosts for this year’s event were Judy and Don Smith with assistance from Barbara and George Hasaka. Many additional thanks go out to those who assisted in the set up and break down for the event and most particularly to all who contributed the delectable appetizers, dishes and desserts that were enjoyed by all. The Empty Nesters invite any Reunion residents without dependent children at home to join the group. Please contact Chairperson Rebecca Hagler for more information: haglerrebecca@yahoo.com, 678-641-6209.

Not all physical therapy is the same. Physicians recognize that advanced training in the field of medicine, especially board certification in orthpaedics (OCS) and hand therapy (CHT), combined with years of experience means better results for patients. BenchMark Physical Therapy, formerly Pro Therapy, has more advanced certified and board certified therapists than any other rehab provider in northeast Georgia, including dry needling, hand therapy and board-certification in orthopaedics. Our patients feel better and move better—faster!
