COFFEE ANGELS

Did you know Providence Point has their own team of coffee brew masters? Forged by a friendship that began four years ago, Bob Mead and Barney (Center Village) and Jules Chriest (Garden Village), gentlemen and canine, provide for you the ultimate morning beverage six days a week.

It was an August morning, cooler than most, just shy of 6:30 a.m. with low clouds producing small dots of moisture gently touching one's face while walking. Headed for the hub of the community, the coffee stand, it was my mission to catch one of the coffee angels in action.

Parking myself in one of the cushioned chairs of the three new bistro sets nestled under the overhang on the front of Town Hall, I spotted Bob and Barney coming down the sidewalk. They're headed for the coffee stand which provides a respite for residents and their four legged family members and a place to gather and get to know one's neighbors.

Bob, a Washington native, spent nearly forty years in sales with the same firm. Now residing in Center Village, he and Barney set out each morning, bar Sundays, for the coffee stand. He has a routine beginning with filling the carafes with water. Reaching next for the filters, he spoons coffee, provided by PMO, into the filters. Positioning the filled filters and pouring water into the coffee makers, he brews both leaded and unleaded java. Setting out the creamer/sweetener, his job is done until Barney's next walk, about four hours later.

It doesn't take long before the aroma of freshly brewed coffee permeates the air and, on this particular humid morning, seems to linger longer than usual. Meanwhile, Barney sits calmly watching his "dad". Once Bob finishes his task, he picks up Barney, takes a seat, and waits for that first cup. We talk, but mostly I pepper him with questions of how and why.

Listening to Bob, I learn of his family, how he came to this community, his love of shih tzus, and why he does what he does. Knowing that Jules is available to continue the program when he is unavailable is his key to success of the coffee service. He appears surprised and a little uncomfortable at hearing how grateful the coffee stand visitors are for his services. Mentioning Ruth and Ami, Enid, Alice, Gloria, and a delightful pair who each take a half cup on their way home from their walk, I see Bob nod and smile.

Hearing a familiar chord, I'm struck by the casualness of good people doing good things who seem unaware that others value what they do. Requiring much more pondering as to why this is, this writer has one request. Next time you see Bob and Barney and Jules, tip your hat, give a wave or shout, and thank them for what they do.

(Thank you Shirley for providing this article for To The Point.)

WINTER MUSIC SERIES

With September here, can winter be far behind? And with winter, Providence Point residents have the Winter Music Series to anticipate. This year, we have even more of a good thing. “Last year’s performances were so well received,” says Carolyn Carson, president of the Classical Music Group, “That we asked Resident Events if they would be willing to sponsor four concerts.” Resident Events was willing and so this year, we have an additional treat in store.

The first concert which will be held on September 30th, a Sunday at 3:00 in the afternoon at Our Place, will be a duet of flute and harp with Terri Gustafson and Deborah McClellan of the Issaquah Philharmonic Orchestra. And those of you who were lucky enough to attend last year’s concerts know what a treat these Sunday afternoon events are. This year’s performances will be even more delightful for in addition to the reception provided, we’ll also have the pleasure of enjoying Our Place with its more formal ambiance.

The other programs to anticipate this year include the Seattle Boys Choir who will be presenting a Holiday Concert on De-cember 8th at 3:00 pm in the Club House. On January 27th classical guitarist Tim Lawler will perform at three in Our Place. And the final concert of this coming season will be a repeat performance of the Spring Trio, members of the Sammamish Symphony Orchestra, on April 14th in Our Place.

And all these performances are only five dollars each. Amaz-ing! Tickets will be on sale in the Activities Office. Lorri advises us to buy our tickets as early as possible since they sell like hot cakes! Tickets are limited to 70 for the Club House and 70 for Our Place.

So with September upon us, and a long winter ahead, cheer up! That’s music you hear all around you on certain Sunday afternoons. Come enjoy the sounds and sights of classical music at Providence Point!

(Thank you Sally Allen for providing this article for To The Point.)

BOOK CLUB7:00 p.m. Winthrop Building

The Providence Point Book Club will meet at 7:00 pm on Wednesday, September 19th in the downstairs social room of the Winthrop Building in Washington Village.

The group will discuss Crow Planet: essential Wisdom from the Urban Wilderness by local author - Lyanda Lynn Haupt. This short book (229 pp.) concerns everything you ever wanted to know about “the black sheep of the avian world” but were afraid to ask. The author admits that comments about crows range from: “intelligent”, “beautiful,” to “loud,” “poopy,” “evil,” “menacingly bold,” and “harbingers of death.” (NY Times Book Review 2009)

Haupt observes crows in her backyard, her neighborhood, and a nearby wildlife preserve and discovers they are smart, social, and disturbingly like us …. Your strolls around your neighbor-hood would be much more interesting after you read this book. Her observations demonstrate evidence of the crow commu-nity’s social complexity, their extensive vocabulary, and their fierce loyalty to their mates and species. (Publisher’s Weekly)

Other comments about this book: “A completely charming and informative book on the pleasures of keeping one’s eyes open.” (David Sedaris)

“With her sensitivity, careful eye and gift for language, Haupt tells her tale beautifully, immersing us in a heady hybrid of sci-ence, history, how to and memoir. (Los Angeles Times)

If you live in a city and want to expand your awareness of the natural world, Crow Planet would be a compelling and inspi-rational book. If you love or hate or are mystified by crows, it is an essential one.” Come and join our lively discussion. All are welcome. Call Barbara Beyers with any questions. (391 5952)
