On 5 November 39 members of the Fall Social Club
met at the home of Nancy Nasser for their bi-weekly event.
With so many attending, the spread of appetizers was a sight
to behold and served as dinner as well for renewing friendships
with snow birds arriving back at their Southern roosts. A
rousing round of Happy Birthday greeted the birthday girl,
Phyllis Russell. Everyone met Jim Burgess (Board Candidate)
and his wife Dianna just arriving from Canada. As the Fall
event schedule is coming to an end, many related this Social
Club to a leisurely tour of homes. "With only 7 different
floor plans in Myrtle Trace it is always exciting to see what
owners have done with it". Nancy's home was remarkable
with a magnificent kitchen, and "closets to die for".
This spacious home was made for entertaining and achieved
it in grand style.
Forty
ghosts and goblins flew in to attend this year's Halloween
Costume Party, chaired by Carol and John Ball. There were
numerous original costumes, but the prizes were awarded to
the first place winner Mary McHugh who came as a Can Can Golfer;
second place winners were shared by Karen & Dick Page
dressed as clowns; and Terri & Joe Cook who came as a
bag lady and her bag man! The evening meal
was a unique braided bread filled with chopped meat and rice
mixture and the Myrtle Trace sheet cake. Lottery tickets surprised
everyone when they lifted their dinner plates, and several
cashed in on the prize money. The 50/50 winner of the $27
was Nancy Johnson. Games, trivia, and raffles kept the evening
fun and eventful. Now, all thoughts are dreaming up next year's
costumes!
On
15 October the Fall Social Club went on another "field
trip" to the Plantation Golf and Country Club. With a
large attendance, they began in the new bar area with happy
hour drinks and social mingling. A few early returning seasonal
owners were able to re-acquaint friendships and see the recently
completed refurbishments to the country club. Some exterior
work on the decks and cart path were still in progress. Following
the social hour, they were called to dinner in the Grille
room where everyone focused on a most spectacular sunset.
The Fall Social Club typically rotates between local homes
and "field trips".
