Canebrake Connections, December 2008
The Holidays are almost here. The days are short, the leaves have fallen and frosty mornings are the norm. We still want to see you at the club and that is why we have some fun events planned to get you out. Besides his normal monthly offerings, Chef Ron has a few specials planned for you.
Thursday night is steak night. Then, this Friday, Richie and Deemer will be entertaining at the club from 7 until 11 p.m. Come out and enjoy the music while dining on one of Chef Ron’s specials for the evening.
REMEMBER, ALL OF CHEF RON'S SPECIAL EVENTS REQUIRE AN RSVP. SO CALL 232-2412, Ext. 3 now, or EMAIL YOUR RSVP's for these popular events.
With your November statement you will receive a reminder for Canebrake’s annual employee holiday fund. Participation is completely optional and confidential. Thank you for your consideration. I have seen many of you working out, taking advantage of our arrangement with Sorts Fit. The proximity to Canebrake has made it a natural fit for our members and residents. If you haven’t joined yet, ask them about the great deal for our Canebrake members.
On behalf of the entire staff at Canebrake, we would like to thank you for your patronage and friendship. We hope your Thanksgiving finds you in the presence of cherished family and loved ones.
Happy Holidays,
Jack
70s Party a Blast from the Past!
The Canebrake 70s Party was a big hit. Almost everyone came in costume to help set the mood for the evening. It was a trip back in time and had many of our members out on the dance floor feeling young again, perhaps explaining the surge in Advil and Absorbine Jr. sales on Saturday.
A special thanks to Lisa Noah and Frank Crafts for their help in selecting the food, music and decorations. The Canebrake staff is also to be commended for their efforts in decorating and "creating the mood"… especially Sheila Renfro.
Ray and Carlene Neese set the pace early, unveiling many of their well rehearsed dance moves. As the evening wore on, David and Angela McKenzie took charge of the floor and displayed some "nifty" footwork. Carl Hunt and Paul "Cheech" Taroli labored in the audio/ visual department, keeping the walls adorned with continuously updated photographs of the party goers. That was a big hit as the dancers and spectators alike delighted in checking themselves out on the big screen. Alston Noah was standing tall in his white shoes and Dave Mathias was thoroughly disguised as a true 70s character.
We could go on endlessly telling of the shenanigans and regalia of the evening, but the pictures will tell you more than we could ever relate.
Breakfast With Santa - A Great Way to Open the Christmas Season!
Many of Canebrake's younger set came out to get an early glimpse of Santa and to ensure he knew everything on their wish lists. A good time was had by all, enjoying Chef Ron's pancake breakfast. That was just a prelude to a chance to visit Santa and take away a goody bag from Santa's elves. A special thanks to Sheila and all the Canebrake staff for making it a special day.
Emergency Alert Sirens Installed
GREAT NEWS FROM EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT
Thanks to the efforts of Athens City Councilman and Canebrake resident, Harold Wales, the city has installed a set of emergency alert sirens on the south side of Lindsay Lane, just south of the construction entrance. These sirens can be heard in all directions for up to five miles. Our thanks to Harold for his efforts. Now, when severe weather or other emergencies threaten, Canebrake residents will be warned along with other Athens residents.
