Program: Take a Seat and Stretch: Chair Yoga for Senior Women
Our session will be led by N&N’s very own Laura DeCinque, who has been a group exercise instructor for nearly 15 years, getting her start by working out at YMCAs. Laura enjoys helping others get fit and encouraging lifestyle changes as we age. Chair yoga is perfect for anyone who wants to stay active without having to get down on the floor. Using a sturdy chair for support, we will stretch, breathe, and move through simple poses that help improve balance, flexibility, and posture — all while staying comfortable and safe. Laura’s demonstration will include gentle movements, mindful breathing, and moments of relaxation that leave you feeling calm, refreshed, and renewed.
Here are just a few of the benefits you may enjoy:
💜 Better balance and flexibility
💜 Less stiffness and more mobility
💜 Reduced stress and improved sleep
💜 Connection and laughter with friends
Come take a seat, stretch, and breathe with us — it’s the perfect way to care for your body, relax your mind, and share a little joy with friends.

Annual Luncheon & Installation
Location: Village Tavern, 2000 Griffith Road, Corner of Stratford Road & Hanes Mall Blvd, 27103
Time: 11:30 AM
Our annual membership luncheon will thank our outgoing officers and welcome the new ones. This year it will be held at the Village Tavern on Hanes Mall Boulevard at 11:30. We will be eating on the patio at the back of the restaurant, so we encourage you to park and use the rear entrance and go directly to our tables. Instead of a set menu, we’ve chosen to let everyone order off the menu and pay separately. This means we need to be patient as the servers ring up our charges. We’ll ask them to give us our checks as soon as we are served in case anyone needs to leave early. Newcomers and Neighbors will be providing dessert. Please let us know by September 16th, a week ahead of the event, if you plan to attend by emailing Pat Rosen at pat.rosen@twc.com or Ty Fox at tybfox@gmail.com.

More than a century old, Reynolda’s gardens and grounds were part of the original 1917 footprint for the Reynolda estate, which included a 16-acre man-made lake, golf course, formal gardens, greenhouses, and woods. Although the landscape has changed over the years, many of its original structures and plans remain intact. Now, Reynolda Gardens of Wake Forest University serves as a 134-acre outdoor horticultural oasis open to the public year-round from dawn to dusk. Our speaker, Jon Roethling, became the Director of Reynolda Gardens in December 2018.
