EMPTY NESTERS
Enjoy Old West Night...
Shore and Begorrah t’was a Yippee Oh Ki Yay night for the Empty Nesters of Reunion Country Club on the evening of March 17th as a passel of Leprechaun cowboys and cowgirls converged on the Meeting House for Empty Nester Western Night. Although by coincidence the pre-planned Western Night theme happened to fall on St. Patrick’s Day, the hosts for the event decided to let the shamrocks fall where they may and continued to “Go West, Young Man” with their original plans. Things could not have worked more perfectly to the delight the 54 Empty Nester attendees. In keeping with the Empty Nester love for costume, there was a bevy of imaginative attire on display for the evening. From traditional Irish costume to a number of observatory green cowboy hats it was simple to determine that both the western theme and the celebration of St. Patty’s Day were being happily observed. The evening began, as usual, with the social period when the Empty Nesters mingled and said “howdy” to their neighbors while mutually admiring everyone’s attire for the event. That was followed by an outstanding buffet of dishes provided by the various attendees but highlighted by a center piece offering of hickory smoked bar-be-que. Provided by the event hosts and smoked to perfection by Chef Ed Miskotten, the group feasted on an abundant offering of Southwestern style, smoked pork butt. Along with the more than ample selections of appetizers, side dishes, salads and desserts the evening was a culinary success. After the sumptuous meal, everyone was able to sit back and enjoy the entertainment of a display of line dancing performed by the Chattahoochee Chicks, a talented ensemble made up of Mary Ann Benson, Peggy Reiland, Sue Dennis, Susan Bagwell, Karen Szwast and Nancy Scroggins. This was followed by co-host Ted Sawyer leading the group in a challenging competition of Old West Trivia. With the group divided into six member teams, a number of lesser known facts about Western lore were thrown at the group in the form of trivia questions. The answers to some of the questions proved to be both surprising and informative. Who would know that Billy the Kid had buck teeth? Who would believe that Bat Masterson spent his elder years as a sports editor and writer for a major, big city newspaper? The event was co-hosted by the team of Irene & Dick Speakman and Gail & Ted Sawyer. Many thanks, guys, for a well planned and fun filled night of good fellowship, great food and happy times. Thanks also, as always, go out to those who assisted in set up of the Meeting House prior to the festivities and to those who helped with after party clean up. Those providing food for the event are always high on the gratitude list and always seem to outperform themselves month after month. No Empty Nester gathering would be the same without the always fun ready group that the Empty Nester happen to be. Another successful Empty Nester gathering summed up in the exclamation…”YIPPEE!!!” 6

Hi Neighbors!
Kelly Patterson REALTOR®
Beth Arends
We just moved into Reunion last week and we love it already! I have 3 boys....Tyler, Logan and Connor Robinson. They are 13, 11 and 10. Tyler goes to Davis Middle School and Logan and Connor go to Spout Springs Elementary. We moved from Quailwood subdivision in Flowery Branch over by Martin Elementary. We wanted to be on the Cherokee Bluff side of the school district and my kids have been begging me to move to Reunion because they have so many friends here. We looked at this house last month and absolutely fell in love with it! Made an offer on it 2 hours later… and now here we are! We attend 12 Stone Church (Flowery Branch campus) and we are a die hard baseball family! Tyler plays for the middle school team and Logan and Connor play travel baseball with Mill Creek. Needless to say, we spend a lot of time at the ball field. I am truly a Baseball Mom!!! I work for Coca-Cola and have been there for 20 years….. yes, I started when I was 4!!! LOL Our old neighborhood didn’t have a lot of kids and our neighbors weren’t very “kid friendly.” In the short time we have been here, we have already met several neighbors on our street. They have all been so kind and welcoming. We can’t wait to meet the rest of our new Reunion family. Yesterday, Connor came in from playing kickball in the cul de sac with our neighbors and he said... “This is so much fun Mom! This is the best place ever!” We are very excited to call this place home.
