Fall Activities Roundup
By Carol Harbers President
Our fall calendar was full of activities organized by members who shared their favorite place , interests , or skills with us . Unfortunately , we do not have photos of them all , nor the space to write them up , but here are a few of my favorites .
First , the two “ self-help ” activities : Clarins Spa Treatment and a master class in the KonMari Method .
Yes , I do think that I take care of my skin and , yes , I sometimes feel that my life is overwhelming — but nothing to do about that . Think again . Thanks to the spa treatment organized by Nanci Schmidt , our events chair , and sponsored by Clarins and Galeria , I learned how I could do much more to improve my complexion . How fun it was to go step-by-step through a full facial among a group of friends .
And thank you , Nazanine Eslamdoust , for making me realize that clutter overwhelms and to ask the question : Does this spark joy ? Some of the participants of our workshop made the wise observation that we could hold our next flea market from the items we needed to eliminate . Next year .

Then there was also the chance to be creative and learn to make things out of one ’ s normal realm : professinallooking Christmas cards using stamping techniques and
Wonton making at Stella ’ s . Photo by Stella Kwong-Reichmann cutting dies ( thank you , Sara Naumann !) and original , simple , but delicious Chinese wontons ( thank you , Stella Kwong !) Already in November , my first Christmas cards were made and my freezer full of wontons to serve during the holidays !
