Fore Once More Trinity Oaks Golf Tournament 2015

T rinity Oaks is the defending

champion three years in a row

for the 2015 Scrabble Scramble to be

held April 21 at Trinity Oaks. The an-

nual tournament is a fund raiser for

the Rowan County Literacy Council.

The 2015 team is busy practicing for

the big event and you can help them

to a fourth championship. Since the

scramble is a fund raiser, extra letters

are $1 for each point value. An E is

only a dollar, but a blockbuster Q or

Z costs the team $10. The team will

be DIZZY with appreciation for any

donation.

M ark your calendars for the ninth annual Trinity Oaks Golf

Tournament on Friday, May 15 at 1 p.m. It is shaping up to

be the most fun you can have on a golf course. Here is a short list of

what’s in store for teams and players:

Not one but four hole-in-one opportunities. A new Harley-

Davidson motorcycle will be parked on hole 10 at the Crescent Golf

Club. Sink it in one shot and it’s yours. Miss it and you might take

home Callaway irons, a SiriusXM satellite radio system or airline tick-

ets on other hole-in-one opportunities.

Craft beer tastings on all odd numbered holes. Beer tickets

may be purchased before you tee off.

Putting Contest after the tournament on #18. Win this contest

and pocket $2,500 in cash!

Food and Fun: Light lunch before tee off and dinner, awards, mu-

sic and more fun afterwards.

Cart, hole and team sponsorships still available. Call 704-603-9204 for

more information. Individual golfers play for $75.

Vino 101: Wine Making at Trinity Oaks

E arlier this year, 20 students en-

rolled in a basic winemaking

class offered by Rowan-Cabarrus Com-

munity College and held at Trinity Oaks.

The class was such a success, that in-

structor Jason Pfeffer is repeating it, but

this time the group will be making a

sweeter white wine.

The new five-week class begins April 20

and will again be in the Hobby/Craft

Room at Trinity Oaks. Classes are all

hands-on with students involved in each

step of the process. The all inclusive fee

is $50.

In addition to Deana and Eric Burris,

Move-in Coordinator Linda Agner and

two other Trinity Oaks employees en-

rolled in the red wine class.

Thanks, Volunteers

From the Lifestyle video:

Resident Billie Bryant: “Not having

to go to the grocery store and not

having to cook, I really love that.”

Resident Anita Gandy: “Don’t wait

for something to happen. Come ear-

lier than that.”

Resident Georgina Ryon: “We have

pride in our community and we are

enjoying our recent community up-

grades.”

Director of Life Enrichment Deana Burris and husband Eric were students in the first Trinity Oaks wine class. Here is Deana’s evaluation:

E ric and I started wine

making as a result of this class. It is a hobby we can work on together as a couple. We love it! After the second week, we bought a floor corker. We are planning to produce 60 bottles of red in about six months.

N ational Volunteer Week is

April 12 – 18. Trinity Oaks

invites all of our volunteers to attend

an afternoon reception in your honor

on Wednesday, April 15 at 3 p.m. in

the Special Events Room.

“We are grateful for the 50 people

from Trinity Oaks and the Salisbury

community who prove that by working

together, we can make a difference,”

said Executive Director, Retirement

Services Mike Walsh.

S alisbury’s own comedy improv group, Now

Are the Foxes, will appear at Trinity Oaks

for a one-performance fund raiser on April 17. The

insanity commences at 7 p.m. and mercifully con-

cludes at 8 p.m. Trinity Oaks residents enjoy a free

admittance. For the general public, the entry fee at

the door is $10. All proceeds go to CureSearch, a

childhood cancer non-profit that funds research,

clinical trials and resources for families.

Improvisational comedy shows are made up of

fresh, original scenes based on audience input. The

theme of tonight’s performance is retirement. See

what the Foxes can do with that! Be there or be . . .
