A
favorite time for us to gather as a community has been to share our traditional Thanksgiving feast. Unfortunately due to the continued pandemic we were not been able to have that special event this year. But, thanks to generous friends and neighbors, our office manager, Carolynne, was able to pull together a Thanksgiving food basket for 16 less fortunate families in Shorecrest! That's a lot of turkeys and fixin's! Thank you to all the Shorecrest members who donated food and money and a special thank you to Carolynne who made it all happen. What a great neighborhood we live in!
If you are bored and looking to pass the time during COVID 19, take a walk down Orchard Ln in our Shorecrest neighborhood and find a good book! Local Shorecrest neighbor, John Christensen has used his "stay at home time" during the Coronavirus pandemic to not only create a neighborhood library, but to also create a beautiful dry creek surrounding it. His plan is to add a bench to welcome neighbors to stop by, relax, and find a good book. It's a great way to trade books with the neighborhood! Head toward Jacoby boat launch, turn left and you'll see it on the right just a couple houses down.Stop by, drop off a book and find a new one. Thanks, John, for being such a great neighbor!!As you have probably noticed, the Shorecrest garden team has been hard at work creating a wonderful garden for our community. Thank you to everyone on the team for donating your time and expertise, and a special thank you to our local garden expert, Ameilia Savinova, who has piloted this project. Since becoming involved in our garden, Amelia has gone on to become a Master Gardener and her vision to expand Shorecrest’s community garden is taking shape. She has done a great job bringing members together on the project. The new garden is now the “Connie West Community Garden” in memory of its previous caretaker who spent many hours developing and nurturing a place for the community to access fresh produce.
