A recap of our last CWA meeting
The last months of 2020 were even more challenging than last spring , as we faced two holidays in rapid succession that were significantly impacted by the pandemic . Our spirits were lightened as we saw the many ways we all found to connect and celebrate .
Christmas would not be complete without dreams of sugar cookies . Our board delivered to members a little Christmas cookie surprise just prior to our December meeting for members to enjoy . Baked by our local bakery , Lux Sucre , they were delicious !
Our December event was a special holiday performance by Basso a Deux , just to get us in the right frame of mind . Andrea
Vorvick ( vocal ) and husband Paul ( upright bass ) started the duo with jazz and blues standards but as they continued to develop their unique , stripped-down style , they moved away from traditional jazz and started arranging and performing swing versions of classic rock tunes . One voice accompanied only by upright bass , bringing listeners fresh songs . We enjoyed festive holiday tunes , including holiday classics , carols and some very merry originals .
CWA continues to connect its members in a weekly walking group . Members can show up at 1 p . m . every Monday in the parking lot in front of the Charbonneau Salon and Curry ’ s Restaurant ( rain or shine ). We all bring our masks and use them when the layout of the landscape pushes us too closely together . With the Red Golf Course closed to golfing for the winter , we have added that walking loop to our strolls .
On Monday Jan . 11 , CWA featured Charlotte Lehan who has titled her presentation as “ Myths and Milestones in Wilsonville and Charbonneau History ; Chapter 1 .” Charlotte Lehan is a Wilsonville city councilor , former county commissioner , former three-term mayor and a fourth generation Wilsonville resident . She has degrees in human development and completed graduate studies in urban geography . Local history has always been an interest for her , and she has truly delved into her subject . She began her presentation by pointing out the importance of examining historical information : Who is telling the story ? Whose story is left out ( that translated into Native Americans , women and Chinese settlers as well ). We learned about how Ice Age flooding scoured out the paths that then became the portals for trails , landing points for ferries and ultimately our local communities connected by freeways and bridges . Stay tuned for “ Chapter 2 ” by Charlotte Lehan at a future CWA event , where we will learn more about the communities and the pioneers .
This month , our speaker for the Feb . 8 event will be Judy Alleruzzo from Al ’ s Garden & Home . Judy is the perennial and houseplant buyer for Al ’ s and is also the cohost of the Garden Time TV show . Judy has an ornamental horticulture degree as well as a wealth of experience . She will give our Charbonneau gardeners valuable information on early spring bloomers , container gardens and how to get started this spring .
