After breakfast plan on

Napa B&B Tour & Taste Event When: Saturday, December 6, 2008
Time: 2 PM to 7 PM
Cost: $55 per person for ticket (went up $10.00 this year)
The Napa Holiday Tour is the first Saturday of December. Last
year several of us either spent Friday and Saturday or Saturday and
Sunday nights at the Napa Inn which is one of the B & B's on the
tour.
If you stay 2 nights at the Napa Inn, one ticket for the tour is
included.
I think there was approx. 12 B&B's that you go to (some are walking
distance from each other on the tour) and they also provide a shuttle
to get you to each one.
There is plenty of food and wine at each stop, and the holiday
decorations and entertainment is well worth the trip. Anyway,
there is so much food; we didn't even have dinner that night, although
some did go to various restaurants within walking distance. It
runs from 2-7 p.m. that day only (12/6.) We have already
booked. This time we are finally staying in the main house.
Some friends are planning on staying at the Embassy Suites which is
walking distance from the Napa Inn. If you are interested in the Napa
Inn you can call them directly at 1-800-435-1144 (you can also go to
their website to check out rooms and availability.)
The web site to just order tickets for the tour if you are not planning
to stay in Napa or if you are staying only one night at the Napa Inn or
whatever is: http://napaholidaytour.com/
Congratulations Our congratulations to Janis &
Gary Gerlinger who will be celebrating their 35th year of wedded bliss
on the 22nd.

Good "Odds" Hi Friends,
I wanted to personally invite you to see a
"Gluestick" production (subset of the "Glue Factory") of the "Odd
Couple," the female version. This is a hilarious show written in
1985 by Neil Simon and is a takeoff on the original male version.
There are lots of innuendos and double entendres that keep you on your
toes laughing throughout the show. I play "Mickey" the cop with
the group of girls who play Trivial Pursuit, instead of poker in the
male version. We have been rehearsing since the beginning of July
and would love to have you see the show.
Here are the details: September 4th,
5th, 6th at 7:30pm in the Performing Arts Center at Pioneer High School
on Blossom Hill. Tickets are only $5 and seating is first come,
first served... so I would arrive around 7 to get the best seats.
Proceeds are being split between the drama programs at Pioneer High
School and Castillero Middle School.
Thank you as always for your continued support
of the arts! Randi :-)
