Calling all Foreign Language-Speaking Members!
French was the chosen language as we kicked off our
Foreign Language Conversation Luncheon Series with a good group in the Dining Room. The purpose of these luncheons is to give you a forum to exercise your French and Spanish in a conversational and informal atmosphere. French and Spanish-speaking Club members of all levels of ability are invited to attend these luncheons in the Bronze Grille. The groups will discuss light and easy topics such as food, travel, movies and current events. Lunch is ala carte. Come to practice a foreign language or just to listen and brush up on your own skills. The date of the next luncheon is January 19 at noon. If you are interested in establishing a Spanish table, please contact Tammy Epes on extension 221.
Did You Miss It???
If you've not been to the Shenandoah Club lately, you've missed a whole host of great activities for every member of the family.
Just recently, the Meet the Author Luncheon with Rufus Phillips put the Vietnam Conflict into the modern context of our times with his enlightening and informative discussion. Miss America 2008 and the reigning Miss Virginia, Tara Wheeler, each brought their personal and positive message to a rapt audience for a lunchtime treat for folks of all ages.

For the epicurous among us. the el Bulli Tribute Dinner and it's accompanying evening, el Bulli: The Wines, the Ingredients brought world-class dining right into our clubhouse.
These events are just but a sampling of the special programs we offer here at the Club. If you have an idea for a special event you'd like to see at the Club, let us know and we will do our best to make it happen for you!
