First Day EE 2015
Get 2015 off to a fabulous start by attending
EE's First Day Potluck on January
1, at 1:00 p.m.
(Just remember 1-1 at 1.) Jane
Ellingson will
once again organize this wildly popular event that has become an
EE tradition. It starts late enough for you to recover from New
Year's Eve, and early enough to still watch your favorite football
game. Please bring a dish to share, your beverage of choice
(hair of the dog perhaps?), and your own table service. Coffee
will be provided. |

Make Clay While the Sun Shines
The Fiber Arts Group will conduct a polymer clay
workshop led by Joey
Sourant and Marla Ries on Thursday,
January 8, from 1:00 - 3:00 at the Ramada. This medium can be used for jewelry, or pieces of
art. For planning purposes, please let Marla (gvmarlaries@gmail.com
or 360-708-0855) know if you plan to attend. Please bring a few
colors of clay (Premo Sculpey or similar product) to the
workshop. Clay is available at Michael's, WalMart, numerous art
supply stores, or maybe even the White Elephant (my store of
choice). |

Luminarias
Lovely luminarias will line the sidewalks of S. Circulo Napa
on Tuesday, December 23. Lighting
will start at dusk. Stroll by and show your appreciation to all
the Napa residents who participate in this annual ritual. |

Hungry Javelinas on the Prowl
There have been several recent reports of javelinas finding
their midnight snacks in trash cans. These critters aren't
dainty eaters and leave a huge mess in their wake. To
discourage scrounging, make sure your trash can lid is secure,
and if you use the in-ground can, try placing a big rock on it. |

Generous EE Movie Goers
Kevin Welsh reports
that during this holiday season donations at the Arts Club's
Wednesday night movies provided the Community Food Bank with $79
plus many pounds of food, the Crossroads Mission with $122, and
$111 to St. Andrews Orphanage. |

Become a Patron of the Arts
The Garden Club and Arts Club are raising funds for further
enhancements to the future ramada at the shade tree park,
which should be funded and completed within the next several
months.
To that end,
a special evening of wine & cheese, with a silent auction, has
been scheduled for Friday,
January 23rd. Some donations of fine art, dedicated
to this project, have already been received, including:
mesquite furniture, ceramic work, leaded glass work, yard
art, custom made knives, jewelry, and other quality pieces.
There are
many talented and creative people living in Esperanza
Estates and the Arts Club hopes you will help support this
project by donating a piece of your art work (or your
talents as cook, providing a meal to auction, or your skill
as a golfer, providing lessons, etc.). For more information you can
contact: Stacie Meyer (344-7301), Marla
Ries (360-708-0855)
or Joey Sourant (777-7728). |

Try Hatha Yoga
Looking for a way to begin the New Year with a healthful
activity? Give Hatha Yoga a try. A number of residents
have expressed an interest in yoga, and Valerie Davenport, a
recently certified
yoga/Pilates instructor, has agreed to lead a
group in GENTLE yoga at the Ramada. Participants will be asked to
donate $5-$6 per class. (1 hour yoga classes at GVR are at least
$11 a class.) It has been suggested that classes be held twice
a week--either Mondays and Wednesdays, or Tuesdays and Thursdays,
at 9:00 a.m. or 3:00 p.m. Input on days and times from
interested participants is requested. All EE neighbors are
invited to join or to just sit in to evaluate their options.
Please e-mail your interest and preferences for days & times to Mary
Grgich at marygrgich17@gmail.com or Sharon
Rowe at srowe62902@aol.com. |

Broken Lamp Posts
Go out to get your mail and find your lamp post taking a nap on
the ground? Sort of ruins your day, but our HOA may be able to
help you out. Eric Ellingson suggests
that if a few inches of the post are sticking out of the ground,
the easiest solution may be to repair it with a plastic sleeve.
The HOA will have some plastic sleeve material available for
that purpose. Contact Eric for
information. |
