Empty Nesters are couples and singles who, for whatever reason, find themselves with empty nests. We get together for parties throughout the year with gatherings such as cook-outs, holiday parties, wine tasting, Euchre, Mah Jongg, lunches and golf outings. All in-home events follow the same format: BYOB with an appetizer or dessert unless otherwise specified.
