COOKING DEMONSTRATION: CRANBERRY CHICKEN 21 Birthday Potluck 21 Quilting Bee 22 Presentation on Acupuncture
28 Red Hat Society
If you would like to add a great new dish to your collection of menus, come to the Center on Thursday, August 8. We were looking for an entrée that is tasty — as well as quick and easy to prepare — when a Center member recommended Karin Gill’s Cranberry Chicken. We lucked up when Karin agreed to demonstrate for us how to make this dish which has a tangy sauce and is served over noodles. Mmm, pasta! She will begin at 10:30 and then, when the cooking is done, we’ll enjoy it for lunch at about 11:30. The demonstration is free, the lunch is $4. You can join us for lunch, even if you can’t make the demonstration. Please sign up by Monday the 5th.
RED HAT SOCIETY TO TOUR NOLENSVILLE BED & BREAKFAST Alfred and Evelyn Bennett, longtime proprietors of Homeplace Bed & Breakfast in Nolensville, have started a new B&B venture that represents quite a slice of history. Formerly Newt McCord’s home, part of the structure of Nolensville Bed & Breakfast is said to be the original William Nolen dwelling. On Wednesday, August 28th, Mr. Bennett will tell Red Hat Society members all about the home as they tour the “new” place. Lunch will follow at a nearby eatery. The van leaves the Center at 9:30; van fee is $3.
