Monthly Pot Luck Dinner

The Village@Aversboro continue its custom of monthly pot-luck dinners for the residents in the club house.  The next pot-luck is  Saturday, March 6, 2010.  It's always fun to see who shows up and what is brought for dinner......no doubt the food will be delicious, especially the desserts!!   We'll see how many new residents attend for the first time...it is a great way to meet the neighbors. The name tags help tremendously.  This month the realtors are bringing a spiral ham since some prospective buyers are planning to attend.  Looking forward to Saturday night!

Good Things Happening.....

It took about two years to plan The Village at Aversboro.  In the beginning, there was a focus group of about 12 people that met with the developer, builders and realtors.  These people were all in the 55+ age group and were excited about the community coming to Garner.  They discussed what  they would want in the custom built homes being planned for the active adult community.  They said to do away with the whirlpool tub in the master bath....have a large walk in tile shower with a seat.  Another example is a workshop area in the garage.  Some plans have two bedrooms and an office which allows for the workshop area.  One couple even came with a typed up list of what they thought would be desirable in the custom built homes.  What I'm trying to get at is that couple has now successfully sold their house in another neighborhood and has signed a contract to have a new home built in The Village.  We're excited to have them and appreciate all the people that had input on the planning to make our community what it is....a Great Place to be!  Thank you!

Fun Discovering the Triangle

The Village at Aversboro has been busy during the month of Jan. I joined 20 ladies on Jan 22nd for lunch at The Cheesecake Factory.  Everyone enjoyed their lunch together. Extra cheesecake was bought to take home for sharing.....needless to say, it was great cheesecake!  

The men's breakfast was on Jan 15th.  They enjoyed the Garden Gate Cafe on Aversboro Rd.  It was held a week earlier than normal....hard to keep up with that group!

Two couples went on a trip to Wake Forest last week and enjoyed The Tea Room.  One of the couples, who had moved from Wake Forest to The Village at Aversboro, enjoyed showing where they lived before moving to Garner.  The other couple had moved here from CT and Wake Forest turned out to be a great place to explore.  In fact, the former CT couple took another couple to Wake Forest the next day!
