AN EXCITING SEASON IS UNDERWAY FOR MEMBERS OF THE HARBOR HILLS GARDEN AND WOMEN’S CLUB BY NIKKI HOFFMAN
Harbor Hills Garden and Women’s Club President Karen Edmiston guarantees members will be delighted by the variety of entertaining programs. Meetings occur on the first Friday of each month from October to May. Programs are followed by a delicious luncheon. All club members are warmly welcome.
Karen Coburn presented October’s inaugural session with a demonstration of the best at-home workout for seniors, Chair Yoga. Yoga poses are adapted to a sitting position and offer many benefits, including managing stress and relieving anxiety. Author Eliza Knight greeted us for November’s program. She is an award-winning writer of historical fiction, a USA Today journalist, and an international bestselling author. Club members were so captivated by Knight’s story that signed copies of her book sold out!
To celebrate the festive month of December, friend and neighbor Sue Rice will host a holiday party with prizes and surprises! Decorating your home with houseplants has essential health benefits. Join us in January for UF’s Master Gardener Leslie Lightbourne’s presentation on this fascinating topic. In February, Mary Kay beauty consultant Marlene Davitt will share her secrets for healthy skin care. In March, we will gather for an off-site luncheon at the Angler’s Club. April’s fashion show from Patchington will reveal trends for spring. The season concludes with an informative program, Things to Do in Central Florida. The presenter is Corrine Retzel, author of the book Orlando on a Budget, Beyond Theme Parks for Visitors and Locals.
A new bench has been installed in Veteran’s Park at Harbor Hills as a tribute to our brave soldiers here and abroad. The inscription reads, “To honor our veterans, past, present, and future, from the Harbor Hills Garden & Women’s Club.” Special thanks to Harbor Hills Country Club personnel for their assistance and to Bobby Yeargan and Joshua Senkeleski for the installation help. God bless the USA!
