Greetings, Savor Eldoradoans! This year has been a blast. Thank you all for your attendance and support. We have another potluck party coming up! Thanks to Destiny Allison’s La Tienda newsletter, Cynthia Bargman and Linda Armantrout attended our September party at Max Todd and Ron Paredes’ home. They have been thrilled to move to the Eldorado Community and welcome you to their home and studio.

I will be requesting RSVPs in early November so stay tuned!

Linda has been painting professionally since 1988. Her work will be on display and available for sale. Cynthia has been making gold leafed and contemporary frames for the paintings almost that long. Together they helped start the East Boulder County Studio Tour in Colorado. People have been gathering for art and music events in their homes for decades. They look forward to continuing the fun with you in their Eldorado home.

Please come, meet your neighbors, and enjoy our home. During Savor Eldorado, select artwork will be discounted up to 50%.”

—Linda & Cynthia & Floyd

See some of Linda’s work below, and check out her website.

As usual, this party will be a potluck/BYOB and the raffle will be for $100, with extra proceeds going to run the organization and hopefully donations to local organizations! (We thought we’d get to the donations sooner but then needed to pay for hosting of the website. It will happen!)

Cynthia and Linda have requested that I play music with Jim Harlan for this event and we plan to be there. See a recent clip of our music here. You can also read about my medical adventures on that page. There’s a chance I won’t be joining Jim to play on the 17th but fingers crossed. Send wishes!

What fun as usual! Thanks so much to Max and Ron for hosting and to all of you who attended, purchasing raffle tickets and bringing delicious food. Thanks to Angel Wynn for sharing and selling her art, and to Kay and Gary for continuing on as our faithful treasurers and raffle-masters!  Congrats to Gary Moran for winning the $100 bill. Please follow this link to sign up for Angel’s mailing list.

Susan and Micki have been tight friends since meeting at their first Savor a year ago! That’s the BEST!

What a sweet time we had! This Savor Eldorado community is gelling very nicely. It’s delightful to see the relationships forming as neighbors get to know one another. Remember, everyone is welcome! Andy Mason was the perfect musician for our event and I got to sit in which was super fun. Marna sold a painting and two spirit poles and we all got to enjoy Chuck’s beautiful sculptures. The food was awesome. Anybody out there want to host the next one? It’s an easy, easy potluck. Contact Hope!

Thanks to Chuck for the photos below. If any of you took pics or videos that you’d like to submit for the website, please send them to savorhope at gmail dot com. Thanks!

We have another fun party coming up on Sunday 8/25 at Marna Zanoff & Chuck Boxwell‘s house from 3-6 pm. The RSVP form and invitations are now active. Please submit your RSVP using the link below. This is a pot luck. Plan to bring finger food and your drink of choice. We are featuring singer/songwriter Andy Mason. You may have heard him at the Lamy Woodstock event, or at the Farmer’s Market. He’s really good. Listen on his website.

RSVP HERE NOW >> You will receive directions and information.

Marna Zanoff is an “acrylic abstract painter” who loves playing with color, texture and shapes. Her spirit poles add color and interest to any yard. They sway in the wind and each is different. See her website.

Samples of Marna’s work:

Chuck Boxwell explores form, flow, and space by sculpturing natural stone, working in alabaster, limestone, and marble from around the world. Drawing on is knowledge as an Architect, and experience as an Underwater Photographer, he creates unique objects incorporating shape, movement, and texture.  He enjoys the complexity and planning required to successfully carve a concept into the stone.  This form of three dimensional art is challenging as you can only “take away from” rather than “add to.”

Samples of Chuck’s work:

RAFFLE: Every $10 suggested donation gets 2 raffle tickets, making you eligible to win a $100 bill. The drawing will be held at about 5:00 pm. Must be present to win.

EXTRA: You are invited to join Hope Kiah and Jim Harlan for acoustic guitar, vocals and improv flute at Eldorado Upper Crust on Friday 8/30. Read more here.
