During Ladies’ Game night we found about 10 sets! Us ladies had a great time catching up with friends, meeting new ones and learning to play the newest version of dominoes.  Chef Steve made prepared healthy snacks of veggies and dip, along with hot coffee and tea. It was a night to remember!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt"&gt;But we can’t leave out the men—today was their day---Men’s Coffee Hour! Residents and depositors joined us this morning in the billiards room and dining room for freshly ground coffee, bagels, breakfast pastries and muffins. Old friends caught up and new friendships were made over the shared love of woodcarving and woodworking. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>When is your move in date?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img width="70" height="100" align="left" alt="" src="/Portals/3/Hansonsm.jpg" /&gt;Charter Members are scheduling their move-in dates beginning October 1st-&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;when is yours? &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Houses and condos &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;are &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;selling and Charter Members are eager to move into their new homes. As friendships continue to flourish, Waterford Place residents share in the excitement about the opportunities that await them----an array of scheduled activities and events, hobby and interest groups, full service dining cafe', friends just a few steps away and priority access to healthcare, should the need ever arise. We hope you will plan to stop out during the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#800000"&gt;Grand Opening Celebration&lt;/font&gt;,&lt;/strong&gt; September 24-26 and see the completed community and the 27-acre, beautifully landscaped campus. If you'd like to come take a personal tour of Waterford Place, give us a call at 667-1725.&lt;/p&gt;
