Author:
• Monday, November 01st, 2010
Hard to believe but we are in the month of November. Mark your calendars! West End Fall Meeting- Thursday, November 18th at 7 p.m. Meeting held at Assistance League of So. Co. New to You Shop- 5 W. 6th Street. Things quiet down in the winter- so this is a good opportunity to meet and talk with neighbors.

November 5th, Friday- Street sweepers are scheduled to clean our gutters on the first Friday of every month. This is especially crucial when the rainy season approaches. Please move your cars off the curb- usually the sweepers arrive in the early a.m.

November 6th, Saturday- First Saturday Clean Up. Come join us as we learn about and clean the Creek. Get to know your neighbors, and people from other neighborhoods. The Creek connects us all, so we all need to take care of it. Afterwards join us for lunch. A main dish, salad and drinks will be provided. Please bring utensils as we do not want to create more waste. Desserts and side dishes always welcome. Location: Meet at DeMeo Park  Time: 10 A.m.

November 7th, Sunday- 7th Annual Run to Stop Hunger. 10K, 5K, and a 2-mile Family Walk (and scavenger hunt) that start in Railroad Square’s Depot Park at 9 a.m. and runs along the Santa Rosa Creek. Race participants will exit from Prince Memorial Greenway onto Pierson and the finish line will be on W. 6th Street. There will be music and announcing on W. 6th Street shorty after the race begins. Finish line festivities held at Depot Park- and include music, vendors and community booths. For more info or to register for the Run- Fleet Street Sports

November 12- December 12- 1940s Radio Hour- The 1940′s Radio Hour is a holiday treat full of 1940s big-band music, swing dancing, patriotism, and old-fashioned sound effects. Take a musical sentimental journey to a bygone era as you experience this “live” radio broadcast from the Hotel Astor’s Algonquin Room on December 21, 1942. The spirit of that bygone era, when the world was at war and pop music meant “Strike Up the Band” and “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” (both are in the show), is accurately captured as the harassed producer copes with a drunk lead singer, the delivery boy who wants a chance in front of the mike, the second banana who dreams of singing a ballad, and the trumpet playing sound effects man who chooses a fighter plane over Glenn Miller. 6th Street Playhouse

November 10th- Special Benefit Showing of 1940′s Radio Hour. The Soroptimist International of Santa Rosa’s benefit will feature an Hors d’oeuvre and wine reception at 7 p.m. Tickets are $30. You can buy them from the West End’s own Marge Jones who recently joined this active community minded organization. Call 542-1235 or email her at sonomamarge@gmail.com
