user input. The task asks the committee to pay attention to

possibly changing the steps in the East pool and to evalu-

ate other potential safety issues.

The second task was assigned to two Board members:

Jack Guthrie and Janet Swaim. The task is to research the

feasibility of having the County take ownership of the

streets in Shadow Ridge I and Shadow Ridge II. This will

include looking at historical data and previous efforts as

well as meeting with appropriate county officials.

like being involved in MBV to make it more appealing to all our residents and to attract new resi-

dents. I currently am a steering member on the Budget and Finance Committee. I believe that my peo-

Sometimes we forget and sometimes new owners don’t know.

So, here is a quick FYI

Is It A Jungle Behind Your House?

We’ve had quite a bit of late winter rains and now the hills are

abundant with flowers, the trees are blooming and raining

down yellow blossoms everywhere. And of course, the weeds

alongside your house are getting knee high. What to do?

Coy Landscaping will spray the weeds, trim those dead or

overhanging branches, and pick up tree and shrub debris in the

Common Areas behind and beside your house.

If you would like to have areas addressed, come to the Activity

Office and fill out a Common Area Landscaping Work Or-

der Request. If you are asking for work on a specific tree in a

Common Area, please get the tree number from the plaque

attached to the tree and reference it on the form. The forms are

in the self-serve area in the lobby (on the counter below the

TV), complete the form then leave it with the front desk. If

you fill in a detailed explanation of what area needs work, it

can be communicated better to the Landscaping Company.

Your Common Area Landscaping Request is entered into the

MBV Work Order system then sent over to the Landscaping

Company. You need to fill out the form in order to start the

process, no phone messages please.

Please be patient, as Coy Landscaping maintains the campus

grounds daily, all of the MountainBrook Village common are-

as and washes, as well as working on major corrective and

improvement projects.

If you have weeds or branches to be removed and your home is on a Golf Course, you’ll need to contact the Golf Course to

have them clean up the area. MBV doesn’t own any golf

courses, so we can’t assign clean-up work to them, so our Landscaping Company doesn’t maintain the golf course areas.

MountainBrook Theatre News Karleen Huffman, Theatre Publicity

Did you think the holidays were behind you? That you’d seen the last of a Thanksgiving feast or heard enough family gossip? Well just for you, there’s another Thanksgiving holiday looming February 20-23.

The MountainBrook Theatre group, and co-producers Becky Anderson and Lois Morrison, are proudly pre-senting ‘A Nice Family Gathering’ by Phil Olson. This more contemporary play centers on the Lundeen family as they gather for their first Thanksgiving since the pa-triarch died. At the gathering, Dad comes back as a ghost with a mission to tell his wife he loved her, some-thing he neglected to do in the 41 years of their mar-riage. The problem is she can’t see or hear him; the trouble begins when she invites a date to join the family for dinner.

Co-directed by Merry Brennan and Pat Hardie, the play will be performed four nights, Thursday, February 20 through Sunday, February 23, 7:00 PM, in the Supersti-tion Center. By popular demand, all performances will feature seating at round tables of 8; you are encouraged to bring your own snacks and beverages.

Tickets will be sold in two phases: Starting Wed., Janu-ary 22 for two weeks (until Feb. 5), tickets will ONLY be sold to MountainBrook residents. You may purchase from 1 to 8 tickets (an entire table) but be aware that all must be MBV residents and that you must have the names, addresses and phone numbers for each ticket bought. This ensures that MountainBrook residents get

first priority. Phase two of ticket sales starts Wed., Feb-ruary 5 and is open to your invited friends and family who live outside of MountainBrook; however, these tickets still must be purchased by a MountainBrook resi-dent. Tickets may be purchased at the MountainBrook office.

We love to get new people involved and would encour-age anyone who has ever had an interest in live theatre to lend a hand and discover the fun and satisfaction you get from becoming part of a production family. Just look at our producer Becky: three years ago, she agreed to help backstage with props, got bitten by the theatre bug, and this year, she’s our producer. Or what about Mike Melichar? He started out as a curtain puller, the next year he got the part of the fly catching ex-butler in You Can’t Take It With You, and last year was indis-pensable as ‘the person in charge of the smoke ma-chine’. Each production has different needs, that’s what makes it fun!! If any of these piques your interest, con-tact either producer by text, Becky Anderson at (612) 385-6121 or Lois Morrison at (317) 753-7639.

Again, A Nice Family Gathering February 20-23, 7:00 PM, Superstition Center. Tickets go on sale to Moun-tainBrook residents January 22, general sales open Feb-ruary 5.

MountainBrook Village

Artist of the Month

On Exhibit in Library

Hello, my name is Mary O’Brien. Once I re-

tired, I finally felt I had more time to be creative and ex-

periment with design and found MountainBrook Village

definitely the place to be.

I have had many craft hobbies over the years including

basket weaving, quilting, knitting, but most recently have

enjoyed making nail and string art through the positive

and negative space using remnants of old dock boards;

another is interchangeable pendant jewelry using primari-

ly buttons and charms. My husband, Dan, and I also make

wine. I design the wine labels using the art form

“Zentangle”.

Pottery is another medium I enjoy working in because of

the natural materials and combinations of glazes and the

surprise that awaits me when the pieces come out of the

kiln. I work with both wheel throwing and hand building.

Last year I started painting with acrylic paints and love to

work with light/shading and movement. I prefer to work

in the abstract, but I have also enjoyed focusing on bright

color representation of realism.

Finally, I also enjoy interior design. We live on a lake in northern Minnesota in the summertime. My husband and I

built a small craftsman style cottage (by hand!) that others have described as “cute” – exactly what I was expecting!


MOUNTAINBROOK BAND CONCERT submitted by Sally Lackey

Our own outstanding MBV band will perform their win-ter concert on Sunday, January 26th at 3:00 under the direction of Gary Browning, Dawn Parker and Dave Richardson; all great conductors.

When Johnny Comes Marching home from Red Rock Mountain in the Summertime, and tells his Mamas and Papas about seeing Heaven’s Light on the Great Loco-motive Chase across America the Beautiful and doing the Jitterbug with Henry Mancini, they all are awed at What A Wonderful World we live in.

So, there you have it, a glimpse into our winter concert. Tickets are $10 and available at the office or door.

If you haven’t been to a concert, I encourage you to at-tend as the MBV band is made up of many professional players, as well as those like me, who just played in pub-lic school and didn’t touch their instrument for 30 years. So, come and listen, then dust off that instrument in the closet and join us.

Pickleball News (Year Around) by Elisa Howard

Happy 2020 to all MBV picklers! In last month’s Mountaineer, there was an article about the MBV Planning Committee’s re-port titled “HOA Community Survey–Executive Summary”. This report surveyed 11 local HOA communities to “provide the Board with information that could be considered for future in-vestment and other opportunity areas.” Pickleball courts were a major part of this report, along with parking and the swimming pools. Although our club had no input into this report, it’s heart-ening to see that the MBV board recognizes the importance of this valuable amenity, as well as the need to keep pace with nearby retirement communities. This protects all residents’ in-vestments in their homes here. The board members of the pick-leball and tennis clubs are working together to make sure all players have plenty of time for play, and believe it is in our col-lective best interest to encourage and support ALL court players.

Knitting (Year Around) Welcome to knitting! We are a group that meets every Tuesday at 10am in the Mesquite Room. We welcome all levels of knit-ters and even people who think they might like to learn how to knit. We offer help in understanding patterns and learning new stitches. Feel free to join us any Tuesday morning, meet our knitters, and decide if the Knitting Group appeals to you. If you have any questions, please call Judi at 314-435-1552.

Book Discussion by Peggy Malsom (Year Around)

When would I, as a wife and mother, risk my life and my child’s life to save a stranger? That question is at the very heart of The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, January’s book selection. The book is three stories in one: (1) women in the French Resistance (2) downed airmen who escaped occupied France (3) women who hid and rescued Jewish children. The question becomes: Would you step up? Would you risk your life and that of your family? Would you become a hero? You are invited to join us for Books and Bubbly on Wednesday, January 8 at 2 o’clock in the Mesquite Room for this sure-to-be-lively discussion.

MBV Ceramics and Glass Arts (Year Around) New and interesting Glass and Ceramics projects continue to be in the Fired Arts Studio. Sign-up sheets with pictures of the pro-jects are available in the office. Be sure to look for the tab la-beled “Ceramics” in the binder labeled “Classes” to sign up. Classes are limited to 12 unless otherwise noted. The Tuesday/Thursday schedule is as follows: Tuesday afternoons are re-served for Ceramics with instructors available; Thursday morn-ings the studio is open to all techniques unless a class is sched-uled; Thursday afternoons are open to all techniques. During the Winter Season, Tuesday mornings are reserved for Bottle Slumping and Glass Fusion.

MBV Pottery Club (Year Around) Check out the lighted windows of the Fired Arts Center on the way to the pool or fitness facility. All of the displayed art has been made by your friends and neighbors. Our club’s mission is to promote and support MBV residents in the pursuit of artistic expression in the art and craft of pottery. Volunteer instructors conduct half-day introductory, intermediate and advanced clas-ses, in an open, welcoming environment. Pottery Club hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Stop by and take a tour of the studio to see if pottery is something you would like to try. Our class schedule will be released November 1, and class sign-ups will begin on January 1, either in person or by email. Annual membership in the club is $40 and classes are $20.

There's animals, scenery, flora and fauna. There's even one 2000-piece puzzle. It must be the size of Connecticut when it's finished.

These volunteers set up the food tables, organize the food as it arrives, make the welcome announcements with a little clean up afterwards. Don’t be afraid. There are usually others who join in helping. Please consider joining the group on a Tuesday night; singles and couples are welcome. We try to keep an eye out for new faces and welcome them to join a table of ‘veterans’.

Are you a military veteran? Did you know we have an informal group of veterans here in MountainBrook that meets in the Mes-quite Room every 3rd Monday of the month at 1600 hours. Our next meeting is Monday the 20th of January. Our main goal is to put out information and the sharing of information that is benefi-cial to the veteran with regards to getting their VA benefits, a rating or a rating increase. We stress that getting registered in the VA system is the most important thing a veteran can do. If you’re interested in having a little social time with other veter-ans, hearing more about your VA benefits and where to go for help why not try one of our meetings. If you’d like more infor-mation about the group and what we do, call Dennis Malsom, 425-315-6035.

Need knows no specific time of year Recently the office received a letter addressed to one of our Committees from the Food Bank of the Gold Canyon United Methodist Church, thanking them for their donation of assorted foods & expressing their gratefulness in their support of the Pantry’s mission. The letter quoted the following statistics: “Through No-vember 2019, the Food Bank of CGUMC served 11,793 individuals & 3,752 families, helping the Food Bank meet the needs of many in our extended community.”

Committee Chair “Although we were all rushing around before Christmas, many of our team brought their bags of food items to the meeting; others even brought bags after the meeting concluded! I was delighted to deliver the donations the day after our meeting & the staff at the Food Bank was sincerely grateful. Since need knows no specific time of year, perhaps the Committee can do this again in late spring 2020! Thanks to all!”

Making Spirits Bright!

That’s what your Gold Canyon Lions

had the Pleasure of doing! By: Pam Burks

Gold Canyon Lions decided to change their Christmas agenda this year and at their Holiday lunch meeting on 12/19/19 at the Gold Canyon Golf Resort, participated in a Santa Work-shop….And Oh what fun we had making Candy Cane Reindeer to brighten up the spirits of the residents at Mariposa Point of Mesa, Assisted Living/Memory Care. We distributed over 70 Candy cane Reindeer and chocolate kisses!

It seems whenever you give of yourself the joy comes back to you 10-fold.

If anyone wants information regarding Mariposa Point, and all they have to offer their residents, contact Pam Burks 480-214-

Want to be a Lion and share in the fun? Call Larry Bartoszek, Membership Chairman, 847-571-8702, or Pam Burks, Lion President, 480-214-5555.
