Although 2020 has been a tough year for community events, the Villages of Riverwood social committee thought outside the box this Fall to create opportunities for residents to have safe interaction.  In October they put together a scaled-back Community Yard Sale.  Next, was Halloween and they applied for and received a Metro Health Department event permit. Residents setup chairs around the clubhouse island (practiced social distancing) to give out candy as the Halloween parade of children & pets participated. That was followed in the evening by an outdoor movie in the parking lot.  Everyone wore face masks and had a great time. On November 10th and 11th, the social committee hosted a Red Cross Blood Drive at the clubhouse yielding 63 pints, which equates to helping 189 patients.  More fun activities are planned for the remainder of the year!
