Grand Horizons hosted a potluck Sept. 1 with 86 residents celebrating Labor Day.
Chris Fulton told me there was so much food that if you walked away hungry, it was your own fault.
Hosting this event were Mim and Terry Gardner, along with Chris and Rich Fulton. Terry and Rich were working on the hamburgers, while Clayton George was preparing the hot dogs. If this potluck was anything like we had previously, I am sure there was enough food for seconds.
Chris then went on to say that after the potluck, several people stayed for a stimulating game of Mexican train, which is always fun. Some people watched the new television set that the community center recently acquired.
They sure made the most of it and had a good time. Our thanks go out to all who helped.
On Sept. 9, nine women attended a luncheon at ABC Pizza. This was the time for the Ladies Lunch Bunch, hosted by Joyce Bell.
Joyce had only good things to say. ABC Pizza has a buffet from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., that consisted of salad, soup and several kinds of pizza. She also mentioned that the restaurant was clean and very inviting.
Joyce was glad to see some new people there, and she can’t wait to see it grow more when all come back from being in other places during the summer months. Joyce went on to say that she hopes to do some exciting things in the future months.
Our thanks go to Joyce and her helpers on this Ladies Lunch Bunch.
There was a lunch connoisseurs at Hellas Bakery and Restaurant in Tarpon Springs on Sept. 12. About 25 people were there to enjoy the food, the company and the shopping that they did after the meal.
Sam Sage said it was quite warm that day so not too many shoppers. She also mentioned that Hellas is known for its flaming cheese that is delivered to the table, and when this cheese is placed in front of the person, alcohol is poured over it so they can create a flame. It is a show in itself.
This is a Greek restaurant, and while I have never been there, it sounds charming. The people who attended were in a tremendous room, but on a platform, several steps up. Therefore, they could watch the entire restaurant below.
Adjoining this room is a bakery where you can take home some goodies or have it delivered to your table.
The hosts for this outing were Fred and Sam Sage.
There was a farewell luncheon on Sept. 26 at Texas Roadhouse for Bill and Judy Ellsworth from Grand Horizons, according to Jenny Molinek. There were 54 of their friends from Grand Horizons attending to wish them luck, enjoy the delicious food, and thank them for all their hard work volunteering for the community.
Bill and Judy are moving back to Tennessee to be closer to their family, and they will be missed by all of us. Everyone wishes them the best.
Carol George and Jenny Molinek hosted this lunch. Again, our thanks go out to the hosts.
They did a great job, and I am sure it was appreciated by all.
