NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS

The Crestwood Hills Community Garden Project!

Get your GREEN thumbs ready! There is growing interest in the neighborhood regarding the creation of a community garden on Crestwood Hills Association land. At our annual meeting in May there was an interesting presentation from Farmscape Gardens where the logistics of installing, maintaining and farming a neighborhood garden were discussed. Water, sunlight, pests, location and accessibility are all major topics that need to be addressed before we can move forward. We would like to invite everyone who is interested in participating to meet at the Clubhouse on Feb, 11 2012 @ 11:00 AM. We will brainstorm ideas, take suggestions, and get a feel for the overall level of interest in the project from the community. Looking forward to seeing you there!

FROM THE ARCHIVES:

Actor Fritz Feld was responsible for  organizing the entertainment at the open-air theatre at the park that is now aptly named the Fritz Feld Theatre.  His wife, Virginia Christine was also an actress (some of us may be old enough to remember Mrs. Olsen on the Folger Coffee TV commercials; this was one of the minor parts Virginia played).  The following is an introduction by Virginia for an event held in the park early in 1972:

Good evening- I’m Mrs. Frtiz Feld – It seems to me somewhere in the marriage vows, something was said about ‘SHARE AND SHARE ALIKE’.  I assume this must have included responsibilities, so I’m here tonight to fill in for the chairman of the Crestwood Hills Entertainment Committee who happens to be my husband.  Fritzie is shooting a film on location in Santa Barbara and sincerely regrets he cannot be here.  He asked me to welcome you to a fun evening in our little outdoor theatre.
Tonight we bring you a special treat – THE CETA PLAYERS.  CETA stands for comprehensive employment and training act.  The City has employed these actors and in so doing helped to remedy the severe unemployment situation in the theatrical profession.  The Board of Directors of the CHA invited these players and I might mention that all expenses have been paid by the Association.  So as long as you are paying your dues, we can look forward to more attractions in the future.  You are all invited for coffee, tea and cookies after the performance.  A very special thanks to Maurice Kurtz of the Board for his assistance in procuring lights for tonight.
I take great pleasure in introducing to you the man who is in charge of all the CETA players in our City, the well-known character actor whom you have seen and enjoyed so many times: Mr. Anthony Caruso – Incidentally behave yourselves tonight because Tony is also our honorary mayor of Brentwood.

THIS WAS SENT TO THE “OUTLOOK” Sept. 23, 1972 TO ANNOUNCE THE FOLLOWING EVENT:
