The Master Food Preservers of Amador and Calaveras counties will be hosting an inspiring two-hour class where local MFP’s will share their specialties, including a colorful and delicious habanero jelly (a great hostess gift), dehydrated spaghetti sauce in a jar (perfect for the college student or camper), seasoned salts and spicy mustards for all of your foodie friends, and much more.
There will be a short discussion of the food processing techniques required to preserve these items along with creative ideas to keep cost to a minimum by using commonplace items in your kitchen to get the job done. For those of us with a wish list, each of the presenters will be sharing their own favorite kitchen gadgets and equipment. The program will be concluded with ideas for packaging and presenting your creations, including decorative lids, handmade labels, and personalized seals, and a tasty sampling of several items. Contact the Amador/Calaveras Master Food Preservers at acmfp@ucdavis.edu for any questions.

DO YOU HAVE STACKS OF NEWSPAPERS laying around your house, waiting to be recycled? Then please bring them on down to the Busi Parking lot in Jackson behind Mel's. The Boy Scout Troops of Amador County are collecting your newspaper donations and accept on an on-going basis. The large cargo container sits at the very back of the parking lot. There should be pallets next to the dumpster, where everyone can leave their stacks. Anyone can drop off their newspapers 7 days a week, day or night. We ask that you only donate actual newspapers, no glossy advertising, magazines or books. All proceeds directly benefit the various Troops in Amador County. It's a Win-Win for everyone, Scouts, you and the environment! For more information, contact Jenny Fritz at artsychickenfarm@gmail.com

DOCENTS NEEDED for Monteverde Museum. Presently, the museum is only opened two days out of each month. When the museum is opened we usually have 20 plus visitors a day. Local folks, visitors, in state and out of state are always happy to be able to go inside the store and experience the feeling of days gone by. Many will say it is like stepping back in time. Many will also say, they have been through Sutter Creek before and to their dismay the store has been closed.
It would be beneficial for Sutter Creek if the museum would be opened more often. Unfortunately, we have a shortage of docents. Presently, we have only 4 active docents to open the museum. We really need people to volunteer to just have the doors open to the public. If you know of anyone who has free time to do possibly one day a month, or even a few hours one day a month, please let us know.
Still reaching out for other ideas to encourage folks to volunteer time. If you have any ideas please forward to me at rkf48@aol.com
