COLOR OF THE YEAR! Benjamin Moore: wythe blue (HC-143)
Much more versatile than you may think, blue is truly a classic color. It has universal appeal, never goes out of style, and is overwhelmingly chosen as a color favorite across North America. It evokes the sea and sky, physically calms us, and symbolizes trust and commitment.
Because of the influence that blue has in our world today, we have chosen wythe blue (HC-143) as Benjamin Moore’s 2012 Color of the Year. It’s a beautiful, calming hue that has an element of heritage and offers grounding rootedness, providing comfort and stability.

Anchors Away!
The Pig Roasts were a wild success! We had a great turnout and it was a wonderful time of fellowship and community. The Pig Roast was Nautical-Themed and everyone did a great job of dressing up!
The food was so tasty that we hardly had any leftovers to send home! That is always a good sign! Ada BBQ (the roasters) did such a good job on the pig and the sides. They brought along 3 of their own home-made sauces for everyone to try with their meat and they were a great hit also, (there are still some of the honey mustard and the carolina heat left in the fridge).
The cupcakes (Forest Hills Foods Bakery) were also nautical themed and were a huge hit! With tons of frosting and sailboat and anchor frosting designs, how could you not
want to eat one? We took a lot of pictures and the ones from the photo booth Captain’s Chair turned out great! Thank you to all who came out to enjoy the night with us and we hope you enjoyed it too!
If you missed the events, keep an eye out on the clubhouse board for more pictures!
