CLUB CRESSWIND OPENS

with a weekend of activities!

How exciting that we have finally opened our clubhouse! After much anticipation, Club Cresswind opened with a weekend full of festivities in February. Everyone came out and had a blast exploring the new clubhouse.

Kicking off our weekend of activities, we hosted a tailgate party. To make it extra special, the event was catered by Stonewall’s BBQ, a local Braselton restaurant. The food was delicious! Everyone enjoyed munching on BBQ chicken and pork, while enjoying sweet tea and lemonade. In addition to the great food, drinks were provided by Tap It!, a brew pub in Gainesville. One of the most special drinks on tap was locally made Tropicalia IPA, brewed by an Athens brewery. To top it off, it was great to see familiar staff stepping in to help serve food and make sure everyone was having a fantastic time.

As residents ate and drank, they also had the opportunity to explore the new facility. From the aerobics room to the game room, there were people in every corner of Club Cresswind! People were already tearing it up on the dance floor too! Music was provided by Doug Jervey, who made sure he got the residents

The following day was another fun day of festivities. In the morning we hosted a club showcase, with all of our wonderful clubs there! Each club went all out in making a display that was eye-catching and engaging to attract new members. As residents walked around to learn about the new clubs, they also had the chance to try out some of the fitness classes that will take place in Club Cresswind. Our yoga instructor, Cassie, led two great yoga demonstrations and had a great turnout at each! Similarly, Cheryl led two Tai Chi sessions that garnered a lot of interest from residents. And Cannie from All-Star Shape & Fitness, had residents working out all the muscles in her “Fit Mornings” demonstrations.

That night, the party continued with a concert by the Regulators! This band really knows how to get us dancing!! It was a great evening of dancing and friendship. There was no shortage of participants on the dance floor. What a great night!

To finish up the weekend, everyone came together for the BIG GAME, when the Philadelphia Eagles went head-to-head with the Kansas City Chiefs. Residents went all out for this fun night! Fans of both the Eagles and the Chiefs showed up in their team colors to cheer them on. It was wonderful to see everyone cheering on their favorite team or dancing to the Rhianna halftime show. But the best part of the whole weekend was simply being able to finally enjoy the clubhouse together.
