The owners who live at Ariel year-round have enjoyed gathering for summer dinners at The Landings restaurants for several years. It gives owners a chance to let someone else cook dinner and helps support our restaurants and staff during the slower months of the year.
Four summer dinners are held each year, with the first in June and the last in September. The August dinner brought more than 40 residents to the Wheelhouse Grille for a fun evening. The hosts for the night notify the Wheelhouse staff two nights in advance how many will be attending so that they can set aside a section for the Arielites.
The attendees enjoy a casual cocktail hour and do a bit of table hopping to catch up with their neighbors. Several have opined that it is strange how seldom neighbors see each other since they all share the elevators. However, schedules are completely different and for many, this is the only time they see their neighbors in a month.
Ariel residents agree that this is a fun way to build a sense of community, both for Ariel and for The Landings, our greater community. Owners are already looking forward to our final dinner of the summer season, scheduled for September 25.
