Despite the threat of rain -- no snow -- a large handful of Mi Wuk residents took part in the
MAHA holiday gathering. Where on earth were the rest of you????? :)
Sitting around the table with part-time Mi Wuk residents Tom, 8-month old Violet, and Reneé. Reneé's family have been cabin owners since the mid 50s. Newer part-timers, 'him', Edna, and sons Reeve and 'other son' joined us as well. It was so nice so see and talk with new folks! I'm just sorry I can't remember their names right now. If you know the blanked out names please let me know (comment below) and I'll put them next to the other family members. I didn't forget because I wasn't interested. Just reality. :)
Left to right: Denny Bowen (Fire Board Member), Arlen Richardson (MAHA board member and former MAHA board president), Russ Klipple (volunteer for whatever he gets roped into) , and Art Sloper (volunteer/electrician) solve the world's problems as well as what to do with excess snow. Our party took place in the area of the library that once was home to two fire trucks. Volunteers spent many hours converting the area from a typical "garage" to a homey Community Room.
Blythe Klipple (MAHA board member, Earleen (MAHA board member) and Bob Chinook, and Kirk Wallace (former fireboard member and current Jamestown resident) had some nice chats and laughs. The corrugated roll up doors in the background are remnants from the fire truck bays. Someday they'll be replaced by real walls.
It was a fun gathering--(editorial) I only wish more people had attended. We're already planning for next year's gathering, most likely the first Saturday of December 2011. Ideas for attracting more residents and part-timers are realllllly welcome! :) Put it on your calendar.
Back to the busy December holiday preparations now. Tonight is the
Firefighter Appreciation Dinner.
