Holiday Decoration Contest
As we drove the neighborhood a couple weeks before Christmas looking at all of the outdoor decorations, we realized very quickly that picking our favorite houses was not going to be easy. We were excited to see so many yards decorated, and the variety of styles displayed was wonderful. Some were very simple and some much more involved, but they were all effective in representing the spirit of the season. Although difficult, after some debate and with a little help from some kids in the neighborhood, we were able to piece together our top 5. We realize that everyone’s favorites may be different and some maybe not even on this list, but that just shows you what a fantastic job so many of you did with your holiday decorations. Thank you.
The winners were:5th Place ($20 prize) – 15901 Brasesgate Dr.4th Place ($40) – 8912 Pepper Rock Dr.3rd Place ($60) – 15905 Ruel Cv.2nd Place ($80) – 8702 White Creek Dr.1st Place ($100) – 8914 Pepper Rock Dr.If you’re a bit bummed that you did not make the top
5, please be comforted by the fact that you many more chances to earn some recognition for your yard this year. As you may have noticed late last year, the Meadows Yard of the Month program has been reinstated and we’re already looking for the next winner. We wish all of you a great 2013!
from Your MBCHOA Board

10-piece Matchmaker Band Serves Up Motown SoundsFor S-A-S Scholarship Fundraiser-Concert, Feb. 2Spicewood Arts Society event features fun, food…soul, funk &
dance musicSPICEWOOD, TX (Dec. 16, 2012) – The Spicewood Arts
Society’s Third Annual Scholarship Fundraiser features the 10-piece Matchmaker Band of Austin in concert at 7 p.m., Sat., Feb. 2, at the Spicewood Events Center, (1419 Burnet C.R. 409). (http://www.matchmakerband.com)
“What a great way to start the Valentine season,” said Martha Norwood, president of the 13-year-old nonprofit. “Matchmaker, with its four stunning vocalists, will raise the roof and SAS will raise money for fine arts scholarships.”
“This show band specializes in the sounds of Motown, soul, funk and dance music,” Norwood said. “And we’re limiting seating to 130 persons so there will be adequate space for dancing. We’re expecting another successful sell-out, thanks to our loyal members, patrons and sponsors.”
The performing group is drawn from Drew D’Entremont (drums), Jim Shields (bass), Ange Kogutz (vocals), David Robison (trumpet), Chase Gassaway (percussion/vocals), Jerry Wise (vocals), Amos Traystman (guitar), Dan Redner (keys), Gil Del Bosque (saxophone), Megan Wise (vocals), Jordan Whitmore (vocals), Kyle Nowakowski (drums), Eric Ross (bass) and Ryan Harkrider (vocals).
Chef Taylor Hall, A.O.S., of Spicewood, owner of Chef Taylor Hall Dinner Party services, will host the “Meet the Artists” reception, providing generous offerings of hors d’oeuvres with lovers in mind. His firm is known among area gourmet enthusiasts for a new dining
concept. (http://www.cheftaylorhall.com/).The concert will be at the Spicewood Vineyards Events Center
(1419 Burnet CR 409), about 18 miles from Marble Falls, 35 miles from Downtown Austin and three miles off Texas Hwy. 71. Spicewood Vineyards wines will be available for purchase before, during and after the show. (http://www.spicewoodvineyards.com/)
Tickets are $75 online (http://www.spicewoodarts.org/) or by mail, P. O. Box 533, Spicewood, TX 78669, 512-264-2820.
“SAS is dedicated to the performing, visual and literary arts – including education – in the Texas Hill Country,” said Debbie Opdahl, VP-Community Outreach.
“Six Fine Arts Scholarships of $1,000 each will be awarded next spring to qualified seniors, three at Marble Falls High School and three at Lake Travis H.S., just as it was this past year,” Opdahl emphasized. “And this concert accounts for a major portion of those proceeds.”
Matchmaker Band offers a program loaded with classic tunes featuring songs by Aretha Franklin, The Isley Brothers, Gladys Knight, Jackie Wilson, Stevie Wonder, the Commodores, The Jackson 5, the Bee Gees, Joe Cocker, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson and many more.
“We are going to pretty much party the night away with funky retro tunes, great food, friends and fun for a great cause,” Norwood added.
