THE CHARBONNEAU VILLAGER 7 August 2019 Solo Sisters By CANDY FERGUSON Charbonneau’s Solo Sisters sizzle this summer C harbonneau’s Solo Sis- ters have a lot to cele- brate as we swing into summer. In the first six months of the year, since reorganizing the Singles Group into Solo Sisters, we are thrilled that Charbonneau Women’s Association we have added a dozen new members to our group. Some of the ladies are new residents of Charbonneau and others are newly single ladies, looking for single friends with similar inter- ests. We welcome all single women, living in Charbonneau, who are look- ing for a group of fun and inspiring so- los like themselves. In June we enjoyed two events. Our regular monthly happy hour was held at Stanford’s in Lake Os- wego and was very well attended. As people return from their winter retreats, we are welcoming more and more of them at our happy hour events. We also held our second an- nual Games Night in the CCC club- house. First we enjoyed grazing at a potluck apps and dessert buffet, washed down with our favorite bev- erages. Then we broke into groups and played some rousing games of Chicken Foot, under the guidance of Deanna Morgan, and Black Jack with Karen Giardino as the dealer. Candy Ferguson and Robyn Andrus taught some newcomers how to play Pitch with the hope that they will join the Pitch games played monthly at The Turn this winter. Lissa Willis is enjoying continued success leading her Solo Sisters Lunch Safari’s. In June she took a group to lunch at Gracie’s in Port- land’s Hotel deluxe. And in July a small group of women will accompa- ny Lissa to lunch at LeChon, a res- taurant with South American cuisine “with a Pacific Northwest twist,” ac- cording to our dining expert. Other events being planned in- clude a possible trip to Spirit Moun- tain Casino and a wine tasting party. So if you are a single woman living in Charbonneau and would like to join our group, please contact Deanna Morgan at deannamorgan@gmail. com and come join in the fun.
