News You Can Use
Welcome Spring! A big thanks to Deborah Bartee and everyone who helped her to organize our first event of the year, “School Days
Dance Party - The Way We Were,” including Dianne Speese for music and Pam Jastczemski for flowers and decorations. The music, flowers and food were coordinated wonderfully. If you were unable to attend, you missed a wonderful time. The costumes were fun, and who knew “Marilyn Monroe” and “John Travolta” would attend? The KNN website has lots of photos of the party.
Spring brings wonderful colors, green renewal - and the opportunity to welcome KNN friends returning for the summer. April also opened the registration for the June - September rotation. We hope you have signed up for some of the wonderful activities. Once again Arts and Adventures arranged an event filled art day in Asheville. The tour of the Thomas Wolfe museum took us through the house with interesting details of the author’s life there. We enjoyed lunch and moved on to a guided tour of the Basilica of St. Lawrence, designed by Rafael Guastavino and featuring his famous tile arch system. His characteristic arches are also found in the Boston Public Library and New York’s Grand Central Station. How wonderful it was to view a beautiful building with a guide who explained its history. We look forward to more wonderful opportunities with Arts and Adventures. Thank you, Karen Balkman, Linda Winans, and Pam Tiles. Our next event is the Spring Party, “Summertime Fun - Let the Good Times Roll.” Please reserve your spot promptly. This is a big party and is open only to KNN members. The band, Soulutions, will be new to us and promises to play a variety of music. Please contact me or another Board member if you would like to be a KNN volunteer or on the Board. We will be looking for board members the end of the summer and will forward to adding your name to the Nominating Committee.

Summertime Fun - Let The Good Times Roll!
Friday, June 7, 2019 Socializing begins at 6:00 pm.
Followed by plated dinner, music and dancing. This summer party is traditionally KNN’s largest, so we suggest everyone who is
interested to sign up as soon as possible. Don’t delay, as we want everyone to
join us for all the “Summertime Fun” where we can “Let the Good Times Roll!”
Seating for KNN dinners is
arranged with the intention to
mix things up so that all
members have the opportunity
to meet “new” members as
well as mingle with existing
members. In that spirit,
special seating requests are
not accepted.

June 2019 - September 2019 Activities The Heart of KNN
Activity Name Activity Leader Phone There are 3 rotations per year: Feb-May, June-Sept, Oct-Jan. Sign-ups are done online in Dec,
April, and Aug for the upcoming rotation. Anyone can sign up for as many or as few activities as they would like. Feel free to contact the Activity Leader (per the boxes to the left) for any questions or for more information. If you missed this rotation, be
sure to watch your email for the next rotation deadline. These activities are a great way to not only get out, but also to meet your neighbors!
Don’t forget the SUB list. If someone in a group can’t attend an activity, please call those who have signed up to be substitutes directly. That gives everyone a chance to participate! It also
helps in the scheduling of the event, and maybe even help eliminate the dreaded, endless, back
and forth emails.

Did you know KNN has moved its Facebook page location? We created the new page as a “Closed Group” to
ensure privacy for our members and for what is shared there in our Facebook posts. Only Kenmure residents
are allowed to be members of the new Facebook group and only members of the closed group are able to view
the contents, as the group is not open to the general public. This new Facebook group allows a chat feature and
enables more interaction with other Kenmure residents. Check it out and invite your Kenmure friends and
neighbors, knowing that all who ask to join the group will be vetted to ensure they are residents of Kenmure.

We at Kenmure are very fortunate to have so many talented and dedicated volunteers!! Kenmure Newcomers and
Neighbors, KNN, has served as the premier social club of our community for years, truly the heart and soul of
Kenmure. As such it attracts many special individuals who tirelessly donate their time behind the scenes to create the
magic. One such individual is KNN’s Decorating Chair, Pam Jastczemski. One look at the molded vintage record vases
and handwritten nostalgic centerpieces that Pam and her secret helper, Al made for the tables of our “The Way We
Were“ Dance Party tell you these were not ordered on line!! This is but one of seven such events that Pam and her
team will lend their talents to this year.
Another group of ladies that deserve a special shout -out are our KNN Arts and Activities leaders Karen Balkman, Linda
Winans and Pam Tiles. Imagine what you go through when you have out of town company and need to find
interesting activities to do, organize lunch reservations and then figure out timing, weather and transportation, got it?
Now multiply times 15-30 people and do it over and over about 8-10 times a year. And you thought it was difficult
keeping your grandchildren entertained? Try it on a sophisticated group of world travelers who have seen and done it
all. Kudos to these ladies as well.
Note: we are always looking for new volunteers each year to fill numerous positions in KNN. So, if you are reading this, think how
you might be able to contribute your life skills. I always say that to get to this beautiful community we call home, each and every one
of us was successful in our past life. Now it’s your turn to pay it forward in your “so -called” retirement.
