As fall approaches our thoughts turn to other activities besides boating, swimming and picnics. I want to share just a few of the activities that have happened during the month of September in The Peninsula ... a wonderful golf community on Lake Norman 25 minutes from Charlotte and the airport.
Happy Hour is a happening the first Friday of each month. This event is open to all Peninsula Club members It is a great chance to meet, greet and chat with neighbors and friends. Newcomers find this to be one of the best and most popular ways to get acquainted.
The Peninsula Club House - where all the fun takes place. Meet your friends and have some good cheer!
Another wonderful opportunity for women to meet other women is Ladies Night Out. This group gathers at a Peninsula resident's home the second Monday of each month. All women who live in and close to the Peninsula are invited. Just bring a salad, appetizer, dessert or a bottle of wine and come to enjoy an evening of commaraderie, fun and information about your community.
Chatting, eating, seeing old friends and making new friends is what Ladies Night Out is all about.
We are so fortunate to have so many talented people in our community that love to share their talents with the rest of us.
Friday evening eleven of us were guest at the home of Jill Dahan for a gourmet cooking class. She prepared a Asian shrimp martini appetizer, Mushroom,Pancetta stuffed Beef Tenderloin, Potato Daphinois, warm Feta Dressed Spinach Salad and Tres Leches Cake. She created and demonstrated each dish for us and then we dined and wined to our hearts content. It was a memorable evening.

Meet Jill Dahan ... our instructor for the greatest cooking class we have ever taken, good food, good wine and good friends.
Sunday we were agained awed by the talent of one of our residents, Manny Rashet and many of his students. Manny Rashet is a retired Pediatrician who creates beauty on a canvas. He is a very popular oil painter and has opened a studio where he teaches art classes several hours a week. Sunday, September 21st, he and his wife, Nancy, held his first art exhibit in their home featuring many of his paintings and paintings of his students. It was attended by people near and far.
