In October, I accepted the Hospitality Chairman responsibilities, having worked the past year with former chairman Teresa Scharf and the Committee members to explore how we can best serve our community. We are grateful for Teresa’s warm leadership and thankful for her easy access to Guy’s information and skills. Thank you both for getting us started! We will continue to have a leader for each event who is both the contact person for the community and usually the idea leader as well. It has been fun for all of us to trust this leader’s vision to determine the event details in different ways. We enjoy working together, we would enjoy supporting new ideas for future events, we welcome your feedback, and welcome you to join us as volunteers.
Each event will be posted in advance on the SMVE website, listing details and the event contact information. In addition, the event flyer will be posted on the mailbox clusters one week ahead. All our residents, whether Owners or Tenants, are always welcome; if you need a ride, just let us know.
*October 20, 2017, 5-7pm at our clubhouse. Event Leader: Carole Stephan
Last year the BOD changed the alcohol policy to allow individuals to bring their own beverages of choice to HOA events. As a result, the Committee planned several “BYOB and Appetizer to Share” social gatherings at the clubhouse. Food is set out for all to help themselves and there is space for people to mix and mingle in the clubhouse and outside under the ramadas (please remember food and drink only under ramadas and in walking paths and never by pool or spa. Also never use glass containers!) We hope people feel free to drop in before or after dinner, or, plan to spend the early evening with your neighbors.
*November 10, 2017, 5pm start at the clubhouse. Event Leader: Pat Larson
There have been requests for a sit-down format, potluck style event so this month includes the BYOB and bring food to share concept, but will require an RSVP to the event leader who will keep a list of the foods coming (appetizer, salad, entree or side dish, dessert) or, ask her for suggestions of the categories needed. The RSVP will help us be prepared with enough tables and chairs inside and outside under the ramadas.
*December 14, 2017. Event Leader Sonja Allen
The leaders of this event love music and a lively party… the “Winter Holidays” is the theme in progress for a BYOB and appetizer even in December.
