NEW ACTIVITY!

Have you ever wanted to learn to play Mah Jong?

Joyce Feir, one of our new neighbors on Wolfe Street, would like to teach the game to any and all who are interested, so that, hopefully, a group can be started. It is a fun game, not too complicated, and popular in many places. However, it does differ from the internet game. For further information, please call Joyce at 704.892.8985 (e-mail at jfeir@bellsouth.net).

January’s breakfast will again be at the Cookhouse Restaurant (Shoppes on the Green complex, exit 28 in Cornelius) at 9:00 a.m. So far, attendance has been manageable by the restaurant, so there is no need to call Patti Mercer if you are planning to attend. However, if you have questions about the restaurant location and directions, or if you need a ride, please call Patti at 704.894.9411. We look forward to adding to attendance in January! Come have a great meal with friends and neighbors.

The New Da Women’s Group needs a volunteer! Luann Christine (704.987.1527) and Pat Stenhouse (704.895.1900) did an excellent job of planning activities for this group for a couple of years and are now looking for someone who is willing to take over the organization. This was a popular neighborhood activity and we would like to continue regular events. Please give Luann or Pat a call if you are interested.
