Our October Coffee & Donuts meeting was very informative this morning.
The Bistro opens Monday, October 14. We may have a bit of weather related problem as it is still unseasonable HOT for this time of year with most days still hitting triple digits.
In addition to the six dances that are announced in the ticket book, Melanie Pohl (Activities Supervisor) has been working on more events. A stage has been set up at the bistro for the weekly karaoke events held each Wednesday along with a small dance floor. There will also be various entertainment events on Fridays and Saturdays. They're going to try table service at the bistro so we can just be seated and someone will take our order and deliver to tables.
Hours for the Bistro will be 9-5 except for Wednesday karaoke nights when they will extend till 7:00. The bar will be available. No alcohol tickets will be needed this year as prices are flat. We will no longer have to mess with all the change issue as the sales tax is being eliminated. 😁
The Campbell Brothers and Thaddeus Rose events will occur on various Friday and Saturdays at the Bistro. It will be announced in the monthly calendars. Admittance will be free with no ticket needed.
Our season event tickets will be available from Activities on October 15. The cabaret shows and dinner shows will all be assigned seating, however, all the tribute shows and dances will be open seating. Doors will open an hour early.
Octoberfest on October 18: The show will be open without tickets. There will be a meal available for $25 with a special menu and a drink. The bar will be open as well.
Chef received a huge round of applause from the audience as appreciation for the service we received all summer. He will have some specials available during season as well....including seven different pizza choices. A new panini machine and a new smoker have been purchased to add to the menu. A new gluten free bread will also be available.
It should be a great season ahead. Some procedures and issues are new to us as residents and will be new to staff as well. Be patient.
The newly planted flower beds are rapidly springing to bloom. I especially enjoy seeing the phlox plants aligned along the center of the beds. Such pretty color.
