2013 Spring Community Potluck

     The Spring Community Potluck on April 13 at the Historic Cherrydale Fire Hall was a great success! Those who came had a great time. The food was excellent; there were door prizes, and attendees discovered connections and mutual interests. The children had fun playing board games and drawing.
     Special thanks to Debra Berke for organizing it, to Tracey Price for helping to organize the door prizes,  and to the members of the Cherrydale Volunteer Fire Department for helping set up and cleanup under the able guidance of Chief Scott Pardi.
     All of the door prizes were donated by Cherrydale residents and businesses! Including:

• a signed copy of Missing Letters by Meg Miller Rydzewski, a murder mystery. Available for purchase on Amazon.com and bn.com (paperbook and ebook).

• 2 signed copies of It Takes Two to Strangle by Stephen Kaminski, a Cherrydale murder mystery book set in "Hollydale" (aka Cherrydale). Available in paperback or via e-book from Amazon.com and bn.com. Look for the next in the series, Don't Cry Over Killed Milk.
  
• a signed copy of Eternal Washington, Black and White Photographs by Greg Embree. Available from the author at this email: [email protected].
  
• a gift certificate from Company Flowers.
  
• a gift certificate and 3 mini bamboo frames from Sterling Picture Frame.
  
• bulbs, terracotta pot and 3 garden tools from Cherrydale Hardware.
  
• a gift bag with candle and soap from La Maison.
  

     Cherrydale is a very talented community. In future events, we would like to draw on these talents, so if you have ideas or unsung abilities, please pass them along to our event coordinator at [email protected]. The CCA is thinking of holding another celebration of artists, writers, photographers, etc. We are looking for musicians, also!
