East Wake 30+ Ladies Social

We will start with brunch at White Story Cafe. It is a cute little spot in Downtown Wake Forest and shares a larger dining area with the Burger Shop. Menu

The Farmers' Market will be open until noon. Then there is the NC General Store, The Cotton Company, B&W Hardware and more shops on White Street. Page 158 Books is a short walk away as is Lumpy's. There are some murals around the town too.

There is no set schedule besides brunch so come just for that or stay longer and explore some of the town.

Parking is free downtown, either on the street or in one of the lots. There is a parking lot across the street on S. White Street and another nearby in between E Jones and Wait. I will post a map. Wake Forest has several one-way streets and a few parking spots have time limits but most don't.

This event requires that you pre-register to secure your spot. It is very popular so will sell out. Ticket Link (you will need to select October 19th)

"The historic Oakwood neighborhood is the oldest neighborhood in Raleigh at least partially outside of the downtown. On this tour, you will learn how much of the Oakwood neighborhood was almost destroyed in the 1970s.

In addition to seeing the major architectural styles in the neighborhood, this route will also introduce you to some of the minor architectural styles that are found in Oakwood. We will see several gorgeous Second Empire homes, and we will even take a look at three houses that may have been purchased from the Sears Catalog in 1912. We will also explore the small area of commercial buildings located on N. Bloodworth St."

Meeting Spot: We will start on the sidewalk outside of the North Carolina Medical Society building at the corner of N. Person St. and E. Lane St. The closest address is 222 N. Person St. The tour will end approximately 3 blocks away from the starting point.

Parking: There is plenty of free street parking is available in the Oakwood neighborhood on Sundays. Several of the streets in Oakwood are one-way (including both Person St. and Lane St.), so please keep that in mind when you are looking for parking. A great place to park would be in the 400 or 500 blocks of E. Lane St. because that will put you right in between the starting and ending points of the tour!

This event is a walking tour! We will NOT be entering any of the homes on the tour; we will be viewing the exteriors only. In addition, there will not be any restroom breaks or stops for food/drinks.

You will pay the tour guide directly at the end of the tour. $15-20 is the suggested cash payment.

Tickets are $23.31 for seniors, teachers and military or $25.17 for adults.
The seating is stadium style with Row A floor level. Aisle seats are 6&7
I am in B1. Sit where you prefer and we can chat before the show and in the lobby at the intermission. Ticket Link for October 26th

They have a small concession area with reasonable prices. I think it is cash only though.

If interest, we can get lunch nearby before the performance or ice cream at Two Roosters afterwards. There is a great Chinese restaurant and a pizza place is going to open soon.

Let's go to a Sound Bath Experience. Space is limited to 12 so make sure you click on the link provided to pay for your spot. The experience is $25. Please click here to register and pay for the event.

We will experience the healing power of sound. "Immerse yourself in the soothing vibrations of over 15 different healing instruments with two practitioners. Surround sound includes gongs monochord hand pan drums crystal harp angel harp hand pan crystal and Himalayan singing bowls and many others."

Stay for tea, mingling, fun and shopping after!

No prior experience necessary. Mats and blankets provided. Chairs available if you prefer to sit. Just bring yourself, and anything for your comfort, a pillow, eye mask, journal, water bottle, and an open heart. We provide everything else!

Please arrive in time to get settled for an on time start.

Suite 105 is located along the right-hand side of the building across from the green GFL containers. There is plenty of free parking.
