This is a fantastic and very fun event.  We have a WONDERFUL AND ECLECTIC array of fines homes this year -- from a lovely Asian-inspired Craftsman to a Richard Neutra-designed home built for plein-air artist Conrad Buff in 1927 to a terrific mid-century modern to an Irving Gill-influenced home built only five years ago, and more!

 

Volunteers are needed.  There are openings for docents, ticket/brochure handlers, table monitors, etc.  Please call Wanda Kuenzli at (323) 256-7297 or by e.mail at wmkuenzli@earthlink.net.

5.  SUPPORT EAGLE ROCK'S OWN -- DAYBREAK HEALTH FOODS

 

The following was submitted by TERA member Cheryl Leutjen, and we thank her:

 

In the category of Support Eagle Rock's Own, I wanted to let you know that I recently discovered that Daybreak Health Foods store has extended its hours (now open until 7pm on weeknights) and expanded their stock.  I usually try to shop Daybreak before heading to Whole Foods, but their hours always posed a problem for me -- and perhaps they have for other TERA e.letter subscribers.  Could you pass along the word about Daybreak?  I think it's a great little store, and I would like to see that it does well.

 

Daybreak Health Foods is located at 1565 Colorado Boulevard, across the street from Trader Joe's, and can be reached at (323) 258-3881.
