VEGAS NIGHT*
Welcome to Vegas! Our annual “kick-off” event and fundraiser is
held each year at Conant Hall. We have black jack, poker, Texas Hold’Em, craps and roulette. So grab
the dice, get the cards and put on your dancing shoes. All paid club members receive "funny money" to buy real chips
for play. At the end of the evening chips are turned in for some amazing prizes for the top players. This
event is open to everyone!!! For more information contact Dawn Decker at 764-5189 or prnnc@hotmail.com.
A HIKING WE WILL GO!
For information on hiking in the area, contact Fran Levy-Sicignano. Fran
is the membership chairperson for the Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK). Call Fran for the details of hikes or for general information
about the ADK club at 764-9056 or email her at fnl@optonline.net.
REAL MEN DO COOK*
It’s the mens’ turn! Men whip together some fantastic
recipes while the women get to taste and judge each dish. This cook-off has been a tradition with PRNNC for many
years. Each May, this event is held at the elegant home of Starr and Marty Nass. Men are asked to prepare
a favorite dish to share -- whatever your specialty, anything goes. Ladies are asked to supplement the mens' culinary
talents by bringing an appetizer or dessert. For more information contact Starr at 764-1800 x326 or prnnc@hotmail.com.
HOLIDAY PARTY*
Caroline
Shepherd and Mike Neeley make a great team when it comes to planning a party at a local home. Each
December they co-organize this event and help PRNNC kick off the holiday season in style with our annual holiday party.
If you missed this party then we missed you - we hope you will join us this year and hope to see you at an event soon. This
is one of our biggest parties of the year. For more
information contact Caroline Shepherd at 764-3104 or prnnc@hotmail.com.
FAMILY BBQ
Help us celebrate the end of another fun season at our annual family BBQ
at the home of Dawn & Bob Decker. Members and non-members may come out to swim, play horseshoes and other fun games. A
clown entertains the kids and does face painting. Win a chance for a great prize. Non-members can also take advantage
of a free entry for the raffle drawing if they sign up for next season. In the spirit of giving, please bring books
or DVDs in good condition to donate to the Pound Ridge Library. For more information contact Dawn Decker at 764-5190
or prnnc@hotmail.com.
WINE TASTING EVENTS*
In the past the Club has held blind wine tastings and brought in Westchester
Wine School to give a wine course. One year the customized theme was the ABCs of Wine: from A-appreciating wine
tastes and aromas to B-buying and storing wine; to C-comparing new emerging wine regions, varieties, and vintages. A
lively combination of information and lore about each wine was designed to add to the enjoyment of the wine and event.
Great event for wine lovers! For more information contact Nicole Fields at 764-3062 or Dawn Decker at 764-5190.
VALENTINE LUNCHEON*
Held each year, the Friday after Valentine’s Day, this special annual
luncheon gives a great reason to get together, network with others, and just enjoy a nice lunch. For 2008 it was held in the home of Laura and Jim Evans. For more information contact Anne Cook
at 763-4625 or prnnc@hotmail.com.

Community Center. For

in the area. Our last event was held at the prestigious Crabtree Kettle House. The evening started with a
cocktail hour followed by a 4-course meal.
