A Memorial Day picnic was held at Grand Horizons on May 29. Everyone attending had a very good time. I spoke to Joyce Bell, and she gave me the following information.

They had over 125 residents at the picnic, which was hosted by Chris and Rich Fulton, Linda and Dave Tutin, Mim and Terry Gardner, Ron Gamache, and Ron and Joyce Bell. These people helped to make this event possible and special.
The social club provided the fried chicken from Publix, and residents brought a side dish or dessert to complement the meal.
In addition to a delicious meal, Jim Leitzke did a Memorial Day tribute, Bill Sarver played taps and Galen Parker said grace. It sounded to me like they went all-out on Memorial Day.
Joyce also mentioned that on June 6, the women at Grand Horizons had a lovely luncheon at Coyote Rojo III. This was a gathering of the Lunch Bunch ladies who meet at a restaurant once a month.
There were 13 ladies who attended, and that is a good number, as so many residents go elsewhere in the hot weather. The luncheon was hosted by Joyce Bell.
This was a Mexican restaurant with several dishes.
The Lunch Bunch already has next month signed up with Pat McKain as the hostess, and they plan to go to the Sunrise Eatery.
The monthly Friday Connoisseurs luncheon at BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse was on June 9, hosted by Ron and Joyce Bell.
Here, the people were treated to a great lunch with great food. There was also a huge variety of dishes.
I once went to a BJ’s (in a different location) and I had trouble choosing the dish that I wanted, as there were so many.
There was a nice attendance of 37 people. And, as mentioned by Joyce, “This is a great way to try a new restaurant.”
