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.
