SCRAPBOOKING AT CHARDONNAY

For those who are interested in scrapbooking with others, Chardonnay residents can take advantage of use of the clubhouse on the first Monday of each month. Beginning October 1, 2007 at 7:00 pm, the clubhouse will be open for that purpose. Future dates are November 5, 2007, and December 5, 2007. So mark your calendar and come enjoy the fun!

Each month there will be a special project for those who are interested. If you just want to work on your albums or make those cards for the upcoming holidays, this will be a chance to share your expertise with your neighbors.

Scissors, pens, and cutters will be available for your use. So don’t bring them with you. Just bring your pictures, your book and yourself.

If you have questions, call Judi Hahn @ 781-6329.

WELCOME BOOKS

Our Welcome Book is being reviewed by the Board and will be updated in the very near future.

PHONE BOOKS

The community phone books are being finalized and should go to the printer shortly. Thanks to Judi Hahn and Pat Rummel for all their help in getting the books published.

WATERING

The neighborhood is still in need of watering due to the drought we have had this year. Many thanks go out to all of the owners who have taken their time to water the trees, shrubs and grass areas and fill the water bags this season.

NAPA VALLEY STREET SIGN

The Napa Valley Street Sign at the top of the hill will be changed shortly to show that the street goes left and right of the stop sign avoiding confusion to emergency/delivery personnel.

FROM YOUR SOCIAL COMMITTEE

In August we had our first Art Show featuring our very own artists from Chardonnay Art Club. Ken Allen, Marian Erwin, Julie Klaine, Dewain Bowling, Vera Welling and Pat Rummel. There was a huge amount of art on display and we had a nice crowd of neighbors, friends and relatives come join us. The Art Club would like to welcome any of our residents that would be interested in starting a beginner’s class by calling Marian Erwin at 781-9765, or just drop in every Wednesday up at the clubhouse at 1pm.

The pool closing – What a great day! Brunch was delicious as usual. For the cakewalk we had about 22 or more varieties of cakes, cookies, pies and brownies that were all donated by our residents. Bob Gray won so many cakes on the number 13, he could have opened up a cake shop! He donated one of the cakes back to be re-won and one cake, which was exceptionally decorated with a pool scene donated by Nancy Trowbridge, to go as a door prize – it was almost too pretty to eat!

Our game winners were Bob Wheeler – 1st place and a 3-way tie going to Barb Culp, Rhoda Wheeler and Mary Ann Meadows. Our beauty contest had to be cancelled due to the unfortunate illness of Ned Barnes, Chuck Gerhardstein and Ken Mueller. Our wishes for a speedy recovery. I know your hearts were really into this contest. Did you know that Ken Allen was a physic? He amazed everyone when he proved his abilities to read minds! He was so good he’s thinking about

taking his special powers and starting his own show on HBO. A special thanks to you Ken for giving us some exciting entertainment.

We ended up having 23 donations for our door prizes. Special thanks go to LONGHORN STEAKHOUSE, SKYLINE CHILI, PNC BANK, FIFTH THIRD BANK, BOB EVANS, GREEN DERBY AND PERKINS for their donations. We would encourage your patronage to these local businesses. Other donations given by the Social Committee, Barb and Ron Culp, Bob Gray and Nancy Trowbridge (Special Cake) and Pat Rummel. We had 55 people sign up for the door prizes.

Bob Wheeler and Bob Gray started up the grill and we ate Dinner at 5PM. We sure have a lot of good cooks at Chardonnay. I think that’s why our brunches and dinners always bring in a good crowd! My special thanks go out to my committee and everyone who always volunteer their help, donations and attendance.

The next event will be our MONTE CARLO on October 19th. A Friday night at 7PM. We will have poker, black jack, Texas hold’em and dice tables. Ten Dollars will buy $100.00 in play money, Five dollars will buy $50.00 in play money. We will have a split the pot and refreshments. So come join us even if you’ve never played before, you’ll have fun!

November 16th we’ll have our Thanksgiving Dinner. The Social Committee will provide the turkeys, dressing and gravy and the rest will be bring a dish to share. December 14th is set for the Christmas gift exchange. More information will be posted on your doors about these events. So keep an eye open and we would really like to see more people attending. It’s a great way to meet your neighbors at Chardonnay.

Thank you for your support, Pat Rummel
