Planning for January 2010.

The calendar is so full right now you may think there won't be room for anything else.

Au contraire mon amie!

This is a head's up for planning purposes.

More detailed blogs will follow but to get you in the right frame of mind,

and so you can begin to gather your goodies:

*

Jan 17 will be the From the Heart Auction.

There is already a sign-up sheet in the pavilion with some truly outstanding donated items.

...Dinners by outstanding cooks

...massages

...quilts

...pies and jams

and the list goes on and on.

This auction benefits the Activities fund and it's a super fun activity, so win-win!

***

Jan 21, the third Thursday Pot-luck dinner.

Ooh-la-la!

Rumor has it that this will be a Sandpiper Cookbook Pot Luck.

Recipes from our very own cookbook.

No, you don't have to be the one who submitted the recipe but it would help if you had the cookbook, wouldn't it?

Have you picked yours up from Sue (that's me) #38?

I seem to have an awful lot left and the list of peeps who ordered one but haven't yet picked it up, is long.

They also make great little gifts for family and friends and the pricing structure brings the cost down to $7 each

if you buy four or more.

Jan 23rd, Funs-A-Poppin

Holy Moley, is it that time again?

Laugh fest extraordinaire!

See Jon if you'd like to perform.

Or if you don't want to perform you'd better hide 'cause he'll get you.

Jan. 24, Sandpiper Arts & Crafts Showcase

This is a brand new activity to showcase the

extraordinary talents possessed by our friends and neighbors.

This isn't a glorified Junque & Java but rather a venue for showing off what we can do.

Items or services may be for sale but that isn't the point.

There will be furniture lovingly crafted out of rare hardwoods,

personal hand made jewelry collections, fine arts, hand made quilts, stained glass treasures,

beautifully tailored outfits, items intricately crocheted or knitted.

What have you made that you are proud of?

Or what can you do?

This is a heads-up to think, to plan,

to bring it back with you if you are going home for the holidays.

The items will be displayed throughout the Comm room and pavilion on a Sunday afternoon. You'll wander and chat, drink wine, nibble cheese and schmooze with the artists and artisans.

We are so high brow!

So there you have a few of the Jan plans. Just to get you thinking.

Jam Packed January!
