Greetings <<First Name>>!
Holy macaroni and cheese! How did we already get this close to holiday season??!
Seems like we all got a bit swept up in the election activities this year and time just whipped right past us and straight into turkey time, in more ways than one.
We had a very successful party (see photo above) at the Lavabelles Church in early October. Thanks to all who came to see that gorgeous place and do some fun celebrating with us. I can't believe how much wine and beer (and punch!) was consumed that night. I guess you all really know how to celebrate. If you want to book the Church for your own party or vacation stay, please contact www.lavabelles.com for booking.
On a more serious note, as many of you know, I have felt strongly about environmental and sustainability issues since my college years. In my twenties and early thirties, I worked for a building supply company that focused on environmentally friendly building materials. Then I became a certified sustainable building advisor and worked in energy efficiency consulting. These days, as a Realtor, I provide my clients with information about how to make their homes more energy efficient and the value of using more sustainable materials for remodeling and building. I recently watched a documentary called "Before the Flood" filmed by National Geographic. It was quite heart wrenching to watch and has impacted me even more than I expected. I strongly encourage you to watch it. You can find it on Amazon. It may change the way you do a few things or think about things. It has certainly inspired me to get more involved to promote awareness about climate change issues on a local level.

My best to you,
Anna
