What’s Brewing

Hello,

My, how time files when you aren't aware.

Samhain came and went. So did the holidays and the new year has rapidly slipped past. Now, we come to spring and warmer weather, with the new growth of bright green things.

We of Calafia have also been busy. We have a date set for Samhain 2010. It will be Saturday, October 23, at the Crystal Ball Room again. So many people were there last year to have fun on a Friday. Thank you for your presence. What a great time!

Arron, our First Officer has been busy getting T-shirts available to raise funds for Calafia Local Council. These funds help ensure the community events, which help education for the scholarships and books for the library. In the past, our favorite artist, Jamey, has put so done such beautiful art for Calafia's fliers, that now he has compiled something for the shirt. Please donate $25 and get one. Below is a sample of the artwork.

There is a new spot for Beltane in the Park, yet still inside Balboa Park. The Beltane site is almost the same, just up the knoll where the grass is. It is between the roads about the middle of the great loop on southern end. Look for that great maypole. Use 6th and Juniper entrance. There will be the March of Dimes event again. The easiest time to get into Balboa Park is usually after 11 am. Fliers are out now at Starcrafts, Tree of Life, and Sanctum, which is a store covering North County. The rite this year is based on Holi, a Hindi festival of colors. It'll be fun! Even the kids get to play with the colors to bless. Wear something that can be powdered with something mostly of vegetable powdered colors.

We have started the Meet and Greets around the county where people can meet and hang out with the members of the Calafia board to discuss various subjects. The first was February 18th in North Park, the next is in East County. It has been delayed to June 3,2010, 7pm to 9 pm. It will be at Starcrafts, 6195 Lake Murray Blvd., Suite E, La Mesa, CA 91942 (619)337-2400.

Don't forget to bring your projects to share for the Art in the Park, too. See you all then.
