Come celebrate the holiday season with us at Ashby Village! You bring the savory dishes, we'll provide the sweets. We'll also have a book exchange table, so bring a book or two if you are interested in participating. Open to members and volunteers.

Special Note:

The Camp Fire in Paradise and the surrounding area is the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in our state's history. As of the end of November, at least 88 people are confirmed dead and up to 200 are unaccounted for, and the entire town of Paradise was leveled. Older adults were disproportionately affected. While this area of Northern California is home to thousands of retired adults, it does not have a Village. Ashby Village's Elder Action group, in collaboration with Village Movement California, has started a collection for Camp Fire victims and will have a donation station at the Holiday Party. We are requesting cash - no checks, please -- and suggest $5, although any amount will be accepted. Donations will be given to the North Valley Community Foundation, which charges no overhead for processing these contributions. We appreciate your support and generosity in helping thousands of victims who have lost their homes and possessions.

Don't miss the first story in the new Berkeley Public Library Adult Story Time series. This cautionary tale, collected by the Brothers Grimm, tells of a childless peasant who foolishly proclaims, "I will have a child, even if it is a hedgehog!" The surprising outcome will be narrated in improvisational theatrical style, and preceded by a live-action presentation of Neil Gaiman's "Instructions."
