Final Report to Shingle Springs Community Center – August 2012

This past year has been a whirlwind of activities –

As the El Dorado Rose, it began with the pleasure and honor of:

  • Congratulating winners of the Studebaker Wheelbarrow Races @ 2011 Co Fair
  • I was able to be a part of:
    • 27 Special Events,
    • 19 Chamber of Commerce mixers,
    • 17 combined Ribbon Cuttings / Grand Openings / Open House Ceremonies,
      • Which included:
      • Cowboys & Cornbread Festival in Camino
      • Historical R.R. Celebration in El Dorado
      • Mt Demo 160th year celebration
      • Pollock Pines 4th of July parade
      • Opening ceremonies of the California State Fair
      • 150th Celebration of the Placerville Episcopal Church
      • Shingle Springs Community Center’s 60th anniversary Celebration
      • Pollock Pines’ Neighborhood Night Out
      • Greeting the Skagit in downtown Latrobe as it arrived from Folsom
      • Speaking of the Rose Program at the Clarksville Historical Society
      • Speaking of local history at a ladies luncheon in Cameron Park
      • Participating in the Butterfly Concert at the Co Fairgrounds
      • Lighting of the P’Ville Christmas Tree
      • Riding in the P’Ville Christmas Parade
      • Clarksville “Historical Days” Celebration
      • Ag Expo / 4H Round-up / Chili cook-off @ the El Dorado Co Fairgrounds
      • Ground breaking ceremony for the El Dorado Roses’ Adopt-a-spot @ fairgrounds
      • Wagon Train in Pollock Pines, Camino & through Down Town Placerville – which arrived way too late for me to participate in Placerville Hardware’s 160th anniversary celebration
      • Participating in the opening ceremony of the El Dorado County Fair
      • And, the placement of a marker at the Fausel House by the Daughters of the American Revolution this afternoon

The highlight has been being a part of so many Grand Openings & Ribbon Cuttings and seeing the optimism on the faces of these new business owners.

The lowest point was not being at Placerville Hardware’s 160th Anniversary because I was still on the Wagon Train.

I just wanted to do it all !!!!

The Reign of the Rose – May 2012

Posted By sscc on May 29, 2012

Mary Ann Harper, El Dorado Rose – 2011, has agreed to share her reign with our Center. Each month, Mary Ann will offer us a look at what is happening as a result of her special status.

Tuesday, April 24th : Judy, Sandy and I attended the El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce Mixer hosted by the County Fair and held in the Marshall Bldg.  There were many items donated for the silent auction and with the Chamber Bucks we had accumulated throughout the year, we bid on a massage from somewhere (I don’t remember) and got the bid.  We will offer it as a silent auction item at the Rose Ball.

This evening, Mike Williamson and I gave our report to the Community Center Board regarding the upcoming Peddler’s Fair.

Wednesday, April 25th :  Attended the reception for Sharon McDavid  at the Placerville Shakespeare Club house.  Sharon is being sponsored by the Shakespeare Club and it was a very lovely, well attended reception with plenty of delicious finger foods.  I had the pleasure of taking Juanita Grimm with me.  Juanita has been in the Rose Court since 1977 and was selected as the Golden Rose in 1995.

Thursday, April 26th: Judy, Sandy and I attended the Shingle Springs / Cameron Park monthly mixer at Wells Fargo Bank on Palmer Drive.  We engaged in wonderful conversation with officers of the bank and hopefully made a lasting impression to one of the banks new officers who just transferred up to the foothills from the bay area.

Tuesday, May 1st :  Another Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting was held at Jensen Farmers Insurance Agency on Country Club Dr in Cameron Park.  Michael Jensen’s family was all there and it is inspiring to be a part of yet another grand opening and to enjoy the pride with his family.

Saturday, May 5th :  Out of the seven who signed up to attend the Historical Clarksville Day Celebration, Sandy and I were the only two who were able to be there.

It was windy and pollen was in the air!  But, we had an absolutely grand time.  I am so glad I finally took the time to attend this.  I had felt in the past that this was only for those who were historically connected to Clarksville.  I hope it continues for many more years and will not be pushed aside due to development in the area.

Sandy and I then attended another Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting of the new Autotronic Service Dept. located in El Dorado Hills.  The original Autotronic Service Dept. is located in Cameron Park.

To show our true western stamina, Sandy and I headed for our 3rd even of the day.  We ended up at the 2012 El Dorado County 4H Chili Cook-off / Animal Round Up / Agriculture Expo held at the fairgrounds.  The wind today was exhausting but we endured, persevered and lasted.  By that evening, we were two “Wilted Roses.”

Sunday, May 6th :  Kathy Walter and I were joined by my oldest grandson and 2 of his friends from high school at 9am at the Roses Adopt – A – Spot at the fairgrounds.  If it hadn’t been for the 3 boys and the 4 wheel drive pickup truck, Kathy and I would still be there.

We were able to completely clean out the site.  We have a lot of work still to do before we can plant anything.

Wednesday, May 16th : I attended the monthly meeting of the El Dorado Roses, held in the board room at the fairgrounds.

Thursday, May 17th :  Judy, Sandy and I attended the very lovely Open House and Ribbon Cutting for the Marshall Specialty Care Clinic (Cardiology, General Surgery, Hearing and Rheumatology) in Cameron Park.  Many Chamber members were there as were county dignitaries.  It is a beautiful building that we can all be very proud of.

Friday, May 18th : We were scheduled to attend the Ribbon Cutting and Open House at the new offices of the El Dorado Community Foundation on Main Street Placerville.  I was without an escort as Harry was working at a blood drive and neither Judy nor Sandy was available to attend.  So, I had lunch with the girls.

Saturday, May 19th : The day began at 9am with the committee members who are working to put on the Shingle Springs Community Center’s 1st Annual Peddler’s Fair.  Most of us were there until 3:30pm.  It looked good and we felt confident that we were going to have people peddling their wares the next day – on Sunday.

Harry and I left to get cleaned up and beautiful for the Annual Rose Ball.  The Rose Ball is very formal for the contestants who have been nominated to run for El Dorado Rose and for the ladies attending who are in the Rose Court from previous years.  The Grande Promenade of the four beautiful ladies who are running for El Dorado Rose – 2012 and their escorts was a wonderful sight to behold.  Traditionally, the Golden Rose is announced at this time and we were very pleased when it was announced that Judy Muetz is the Golden Rose – 2012.  It was a lovely evening with beautiful music to dance to and a delicious dinner prepared by Diane Wilkinson.

Sunday, May 20th : The day of the Peddler’s Fair finally arrived !  All of the committee members arrived at the community center at 6 am.  The breakfast committee filled the entire building with wonderful smells, Dan and Mike and Bob were working like little energizer bunnies with their quads and trailers helping vendors get set up.  The weather was good and people were happy to be doing something for the good of the community.  We have received many tips, comments and suggestions for next year and will be having a Post Peddler’s Fair Mtg on Tuesday, May 29th.  We will give our report to the SSCC Board that evening at their 7 pm meeting.

The El Dorado Roses had a booth and sold hand crafted flowers made from fabric along with sachets and soaps.  They cleared $220 and were very pleased.  I hope they will return next year.

Tuesday, May 22nd:   2012 Golden Rose, Judy; 2012 El Dorado Rose Candidate Sandy and I attended an El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce mixer at Vitek Mortgage with Carl Hagen on Placerville Drive in Placerville.    It was held outside and the weather was perfect.  It is always a pleasure seeing the same faces that I have become acquainted with this past year.

Thursday, May 24th :  Judy, Sandy and I attended the regular monthly mixer of the Shingle Springs / Cameron Park Chamber of Commerce held at the Cameron Park CSD.  Many chamber members had tables surrounding the perimeter of the large room showcasing their products or service.  The food was terrific as caterers were eager to impress and had wonderful samples of their products.

 

 

The Reign of the Rose – April 2012

Posted By sscc on April 24, 2012

Mary Ann Harper, El Dorado Rose – 2011, has agreed to share her reign with our Center. Each month, Mary Ann will offer us a look at what is happening as a result of her special status.

Monday, April 9th – Along with other ladies in the Rose Court, I attended the very lovely reception held in honor of Sandra Kowalski.  Sandy is running for El Dorado Rose 2012 and was introduced to the community as the Hangtown Granges’ candidate.  Mike Muetz was the Master of Ceremonies and certainly outdid himself.  He has proven to all those who were in attendance that he can “shoot from the hips!”  He was never at a loss for words and seems very comfortable in front of a group of people.

Wednesday, April 18th – Attended a committee meeting of the Adopt-a-spot at the county fairgrounds.  We met with a landscape designer who is going to assist with the selection of plants, pathways and seating areas of the Roses’ adopt-a-spot.

Attended the regular monthly meeting of the Rose Court in the boardroom of the El Dorado County Fair Board.

Attended a very lovely reception held in honor of 2012 Rose candidate, Claudia Bethke, who is being sponsored by Gold Country Retirement Community.  Many past Roses and members of the Rose Court attended along with many residents of the Gold Country Community

Thursday, April 19th – Judy, Sandy and I attended the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting at Kniesel’s Collision Center of Shingle Springs located on Wild Chaparral Drive, S.S.  What a wonderful business this will add to the community!  They are to be commended for their perseverance in retrofitting the building from a huge gymnasium to the state of the art business it is today.  This is their second location.  The original Kniesel’s is in Auburn.

In the evening, the three of us attended the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting at Ava Jade Salon & Spa in Diamond Springs.  This is another wonderful business located in a beautiful new building.

Saturday, April 21st – Attended 2012 Rose Candidate Rose Mary Lewis’ reception held at the American Legion Post 119.  Rose Mary is being sponsored by American Legion Riders Chapter 119 and the Food Bank of El Dorado County
