Unit 6 Celebrates Halloween With a Witches and Wine Gathering
Katie Lundgren
On Oct. 27, the ladies of Unit 6 gathered for the 2nd Annual Witches and Wine party. Witch costumes were optional yet added to the festivities. The event was hosted by Linda Chase, Denise Smith, and Irene Harvey, and the array of delightful appetizers, desserts, and wines was spook-alicious! In case you were wondering, the Warlocks had their own gathering at another home. The party wound down with several witches jumping in the pool, causing much laughter … thus ending the night with witches in stitches!

On a beautiful Halloween morning, several ladies from Unit 6 started the day with some fun music, dancing, and fitness. All skill levels were invited to join in the fun and burn some calories, too. Hosted by dance fitness instructor Katie Lundgren, prizes were given out for the best costumes, and a spooky delicious Halloween buffet followed.

On Halloween evening, Unit 6ers celebrated the holiday with their 3rd annual Block Party. There were witches, butterflies, Mrs. Doubtfire, Ghostbusters, drunks, hippies, pickleball, the Golden Bachelor, and more—lots of creative costumes. The party was hosted by Karen and Jim Handschy, and was a great success!

Unit 16C’s first golf championship was a resounding success, and will surely be repeated. Generous and talented organizers Jim Hoagland and Joyce Cox gathered unit players on Oct. 26 at the SBR Golf Course for nine holes of late-afternoon competition. The teams finished just as the sun set and presentations were announced in the Sol Ballroom, amid libations and dinner. Unit 16C sends special recognition to Mollie Hunter for the leaderboard and table decorations, and sincere appreciation to Mike Jahaske, Ken Steinke, and Tyler Rose for facilitating competition details. We all look forward to spring 2024, for a rematch.
