Halloween Party

I am sure it is early to start thinking about Halloween, but is anyone interested in organizing a St. Thomas Halloween party? Costumes, trick or treating, pumpkin carving (if we can find pumpkins!), etc.?

This year Halloween fall on Monday, October 31st. Perhaps we could plan the event for Saturday the 29th or Sunday the 30th. We could have one large family event where everyone is welcome to dress up in a costume, share food potluck style and have activities like pumpkin carving, bobbing for apples, sharing (adult only) witches brew, and letting the kids fill their goodie bags with candy or we could just do something low key for the kids.

Please let me know what your thoughts are and I'm sure we can get something fun together.

Thanks,

Simone Capote

Water Colour Art Lessons

Hi everyone,
I am doing Water Colour Art Lessons now for almost 2 years.
Sandra is a very nice teacher and classes are fun and within walking distance!
For a beginners class she would need 6 max 7 students. If people are interested they could mail her.

Renate Kolb

Tennis Instructor

Here is the name of the instructor that we have been using to teach my daughter Amelia to play tennis. He is very patient when working with children and has a nice way of breaking up the lesson between practical ball handling skills, proper swing and grip and games to make it fun.

Exercise Class

Hello Neighbors,

I have had a terrific response from those of you that are interested in taking a group exercise class here at St. Thomas. I met with Sandro Ravera last evening and he thought that the gym and/or multipurpose rooms were adequate to teach a class in. His background is in Pilates and TRX. He is available Monday, Thursday or Friday afternoons between 2-5pm. Please let me know what day and time you prefer and I will get a consensus on the most convenient time slot. His rate is $150 per hour and that would clearly be an affordable expense split between several of us. Once I hear back from everyone about their preferred date, I will arrange a paid trial class and we can go from there. Thanks!
