Things happening around the island…

Seen a couple of weeks ago in the window at Softwear....you ARE pretty lovable, you know! 🙂

I don’t mind if you don’t go to ALL of these, as long as you don’t say there’s nothing to do around here:

• San Juan HealthCare’s class series continues with “Mirth without Girth: A Guide to Healthy Holiday eating”…do your heart a favor & drop in! Here’s more.

• Tammy Anderson & Kris Brown wanted to let you know this cool way to plan for this year’s tree: Students from Paideia Classical School are hitting the streets to sell fresh cut Oregon Douglas and Noble Firs. The fundraiser, which  benefits every Paideia student, culminates in a Bake Sale & Tree Pick-up event on Saturday, December 5th at the school.

The always popular Douglas and Noble firs come in sizes ranging from 4-9ft; larger trees can also be reserved. Paideia will not be selling Grand Firs this year as they were from a different tree farm  and not the same freshness as the other trees.

If you haven’t seen a Paideia student and would like to be personally contacted, please call 378-8322 or visit paideiaclassicalschool.org to send an e-mail.

• Have you seen Andrea’s store online selling baby clothes & blankets & stuff? Check it out here – it’s called Ten Fingers Ten Toes.

Pat (the woman on the left) directs CMSJ & does an awesome job; islander Joe Tein (back left) worked as a stage manager for the show.

• It was cool to catch up with the players for Chamber Music San Juan after the show earlier this month – they stopped in at the Front Street Ale House after the show, where I got this picture. They’ll be back again in February, I believe.

Emily & Chris

• Just heard from Emily & Chris Wolf – they report their teaching in Qatar is going well…Chris is taking some students on a field trip to Jordan this week, while Emily gets to go to the Marine Corps Ball in her blue strapless dress and red dancing shoes (she says)…wahoo!
