4. ECLECTIC EAGLE ROCK HOME TOUR --
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! -- MAY 19
Mark
your calendars for TERA's annual Eclectic Eagle Rock Home Tour, to take place
Sunday, May 19, 2002. The event will
begin at 10:00 a.m. and continue throughout the day until 4:00 p.m.
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.
