Cazadero Communications - December 2011
As I sit in my cozy cyber-hut today, I am happy to have some
heat! The large redwoods around me have sun on them, but it is a chilly day!
I am still warm from the fantastic Cazadero Community Feast
that we attended last week. Wow, it was amazing! A happy crowd enjoyed the
delicious and copious traditional foods, lovingly cooked and served by the
Community Club and the Community Church – such dedicated folks!
The Community Club’s recent crafts faire was very
successful, with lovely gift items and tasty snacks. Monthly Club meetings
resume on Tuesday, March 6th, 7 p.m. at the Firehall. You may become a member
by mailing $10 ($15 family) to CC Club, P.O. Box 3, Cazadero, CA 95421.
Montgomery School Holiday Show
The Annual Montgomery School holiday show will be held at 7
p.m. on Thursday, December 15th at the Firehall. Students and staff thank the Booster’s Club for the
Thanksgiving feast,as well as a holiday wrapping paper fundraiser for special
programs and equipment. School
break is from December 19 through January 2nd, with the classes resuming on
Tuesday, January 3rd.
