Bet you did learn some things fromMatthew Gonzales' talk on December 4th.such aswe earn Capital Credits for our power usage, andour earned points are applied against our bills in theearly part of each year. Additionally, we get to votefor an area representative to serve on the PedernalesElectric Cooperative this coming year. Yes, we are allconsidered "owners" of the PEC since we are all Co-opmembers, and profits are re-invested in keeping thePEC equipment cutting-edge and state of the art.So how come, several attendees wanted to know,do we get unwanted "pings" or power interruptionsthat require clock re-settings and fresh boots on ourcomputers? As might be expected, the possibilitieswere listed as vegetation, animals, or emergencyshut downs when there is a surge. These outagesare monitored in the operations center, but he saidconcentrated consumers complaints also have an effectand that every home should invest in a house surgeprotector to minimize these annoying interruptions.You can call 888-883-3379 to report these outages.PEC is currently celebrating its 75th service anniversaryand they serve 250,000 Hill Country homes inside an81 square mile boundary. The power they generate isdeveloped from 50% natural gas, 46% coal, and the restis green power from west Texas wind and solar. A newpricing process to levy higher residential user rates isnow under study. They are also considering movinginto selling power to commercial users. All of theirmetering locations are automated and monitored outof their Liberty Hill location.Gonzales gave everyone who attended his talk a nicegreen folding tote bag saying "Green Works".Green Works!5

It was quite eye opening to hear of the need in our community.Keirsten talked with us about reaching one of the goals of the Georgetown Project to open an overnight facility.This facility is housed in the former NEST location and can accommodate twelve Georgetown children. The NestDrop-In Center moved to an alternative location down the street from this home and offers support with laundryand showering facilities, meals four days a week, counseling, tutoring, resume preparation, art instruction, arecreation area, and free haircuts.We were delighted to choose The NEST for our charity project again this year.

She said that they were delighted and intrigued with the variety of gifts.Marilyn Richards along with the members of the Needle and Thread, presented Keirsten and Zelinda with adonation of 500.00 to their support agency, The Georgetown Project.

On the Matsby Joyce HelmIn last month’s Nutshell article, I mentioned that I was going to offer a“New-to-Yoga” class for folks interested in learning about the practice of yoga.I’ve heard from a number of couples and individuals who are interested inattending this kind of class and I’ve scheduled an initial session for Thursday,January 9, from 9 – 10 a.m. in the Clubhouse ballroom.The goal of this session will be to give an overview of yoga, introduce thetypical class format, highlight the benefits of the practice, and generally justtake the mystery out of yoga. It’s an appropriate starting point for individuals who know nothing about thepractice, as well as for people who have not taken classes in a long time and are looking for a re-entry point. I’m inhopes that this session will encourage participants to join the regularly-scheduled classes on Tuesday afternoons(3:30 – 4:40 p.m.) and/or Friday mornings (8:15 – 9:30 a.m.). If there’s continued interest, a similar class will likely beoffered once a quarter.Typical exercise clothing is appropriate (i.e., something that’s non-binding, but not too loose and floppy). Mats areprovided and the class will be free. (Regularly scheduled classes are 5.00.) If you’d like more information, give mea call @ 512-942-0030, or email scottandjoycehelm@gmail.com.At Home and AbroadJudy and Jesus Moulinet were able to travel ona Uniworld river cruise between Amsterdam andVienna in September.
