RMA committee tussle; Greenfield is replaced

In a series of meetings that lasted almost 2½ hours, the Rancho Murieta Association board on Tuesday night took the following actions:

It decided to delay appointing committee chairs in the face of a loud crowd that wanted Stephanie Bianchi to continue as Recreation Committee chair. Apparently, there had been a behind-the-scenes effort to juggle committee assignments, and Bianchi did not want to give up her spot in Recreation.
Staff announced that Greenfield Communications, which provides internet, TV and phone service to the community, is being replaced by Varcomm Inc., which purchased the Greenfield lease of the RMA cable system.
The same directors will continue as officers for 2019: Alex Bauer as president, Larry Shelton as vice president, Cheryl McElhany as treasurer and Rob Brown as secretary. The vote was 6-1, with Bianchi dissenting.
Santa Claus stopped by and handed out 19 prizes for the community’s best holiday lights.

Posted by Men's Golf Club
A brisk morning greeted the 84 players on Saturday, Dec. 15, for our popular event. Rules were simple, win your match, snag a ham from Swingles, lose and you’re canned. That’s a can of Spam, everyone’s favorite. Marty Sakai and Ralph Coyle have recipes for that delicacy if needed. Prior to the start of play breakfast was served, and President Bryan Hottman presided over his last duty of introducing the 2019 Board of Directors: Darrell “Strom” Lewis, President; Joe Alves, Jr. VP; Mike Martel, Secretary; John Friedrich, Treasurer; Directors, DJ Milligan, Jared Alexander, Ross Sall, and new BOD member Joe Szemesi.

With dozens of elves beneath the tree

Little did Julie Reimers know how it would end up when she bought her first two elves 25 years ago. Now she has 55 elves – the entire Zim’s Elves Themselves collection – around the Christmas tree she decorates with her husband, Tom Reimers, on Abierto Drive. Her collection started in the pre-internet days, when shopping for collectibles was much tougher. Now the elves ring the tree and fill a tabletop and the floor next to the tree. After Christmas, the elves return to their boxes in a closet, awaiting another December. Do you have a family holiday decorating tradition or a remarkable display?
