September has turned out to be a wonderful month here at The Carolina Highlands. We have really enjoyed all the Greek culture we have been introduced to this month. We enjoyed visiting Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church for the annual Greek Festival. The food and festivities were simply splendid. Our residents can not quit talking about the wonderful dancing that was seen at the Greek Festival. We enjoyed it so much that for our special entrée night our theme was a night in the Greek isles. Some of the dancers from the church even came out to dance for us that night. We cannot decide what we liked the best; the dancing, the music, or the delicious food!
This month we are also pleased to say that we held a musical tribute for Mr. Otis Lambert. This was wonderful musical was put together by our very own Mrs. Betty Howie and her wonderful team of musicians. Mrs. Howie played the piano and another one of our residents, Mr. Bill Wright, sang alongside of others from the community. It was a very special night for a very special man.
We are really looking forward to the next couple of weeks and the fast approaching holidays. Next week we will be visiting Cypress Bend Vineyard in Wagram, North Carolina. Our sign up sheet for residents going on this trip is continuously growing. With a crowd like ours, we are guaranteed to have a great time. Since we are scheduled to go only one day before the beginning of autumn, we are hoping to have beautiful, breezy, fall weather. Later in the week, we plan to welcome fall with the new wreaths we will be making on our crafty crafts day. We plan to end September with our monthly Birthday Lunch of spaghetti and meatballs. We can hardly wait!

Yahoo! The cool breeze of the fall is on its way. We are hoping September will take us by a fresh gust of Carolina breeze. Some of our residents are taking some last minute trips for the summer from the mountains to the shores of the Carolina beaches. Wherever their travels take them, we hope to see them return soon to the peaceful setting of the fall leaves whisking their way into the Carolina Highlands.

September is going to be eventful! Our living well series is taking off on the 8th with delicious low Sodium meals from Amedysis Healthcare. Our week will be followed by High sodium meals at the Greek Festival on Saturday the 11th. On the 12th we have a special treat and music appreciation tribute to Mr. Ottis Lambert here at the Carolina Highlands. Then we are off to our virtual trip to the Isles of Greece with our Special Entree Event on the 16th. On Friday the 17th well be shagging to the Embers at the Carolina Inn for some beach party fun. Okay, okay, this is sounding like a newsletter, but we just want you all to know what a great month its going to be.
Always something going on, always somewhere to go. Join us for our events, crafts or just for a cup of tea. Someone is always here to greet you with a smile!
