4th Of July Block Party

Click on the flier above for a larger version.

Some of your neighbors have come together to plan a block party for this July 4th. The event is a potluck and barbecue to be held in the Ely Way cul-de-sac from 12pm-4pm. Eating will begin at 12:30.

Fliers are being passed out by the organizers in the neighborhood. Games and activities are planned for children and adults. If you have tables, chairs, ice chests, ice, BBQ, easy-up canopy, games, or anything else that might be helpful for this event please email norm@victorianorman.com.

For the potluck please choose to bring either a main dish, side dish, or dessert. Also plan on bringing paper plates and plasticware for your family. If you are unable to bring food please come anyway, there will be more than enough to go around.

We will be barbecuing hamburgers and hot dogs and will have some drinks on hand.

Cookie Exchange

On Sunday December 6th starting at 6pm we will be meeting at 1348 Valjean Ave for a cookie exchange. Bring your finished cookies/fudge/candy and any tins or wrapping you have and we will package up cookies to hand out in the neighborhood. This will also be a time to get to know each other and sample some of the cookies. As always you may contact Norm via email at norm@victorianorman.com with any questions. Invite your neigbors. We may even have some popcorn and sing a few Christmas songs. Contact me if you sing or play an instrument.

Block Party A Success Thanks To You

It was really great getting to meet all of you at the Sunday block party. We had a lot of fun and found out we have some pretty special neighbors. I will be editing the video that was shot and show the resulting movie next time we get together. A special thanks to all my friends old and new that helped put this together and assisted during and after the event. We couldn't have done it without you. We have a great neighborhood!

November 8th Potluck

Thank you to everyone who called and emailed about attending the potluck this weekend. The weather report looks really good for that day with cool temperatures. If you have not yet responded please know that you are still welcome. My email is norm@victorianorman.com and you may also reach me at my work number 805-306-1711. We have some fun games and prizes planned, there should be plenty of food or you can just visit if you prefer. It is a potluck so feel free to bring your signature dish, sidedish or desert. As a reminder the potluck is in the Ely Way cul-de-sac Sunday at 1pm. Ely way is midway between Galindo and Elizondo off of Valjean.

If you enjoy planning events or helping out, contacting me regarding future activities.

In a neighborhood the size of ours there will be all kinds of interests and I am hoping that you will discover common ground with others who live near by. Vicki and I continue to hike most evenings although with the time change we have been starting earlier. Anyone who would like to join us is welcome. There is usually a few people each time that go with us.

See you Sunday!

Car Break In This Morning

Early this morning someone through a rock through the window of one of our cars and took some belongings. This is not the first theft in the neighborhood and I would encourage everyone to be on the look out. There is a possible witness and we are working with the police to find those involved but until that happens be extra careful and remain watchful.
