Events in Redwood Heights Need something for the kids to do during winter recess from school? Try the Rec Center's Winter Break Camp! At this camp, children will enjoy games, arts and crafts, sports, excursions, and many more fun activities. Registration for winter session classes at the Rec Center begins on December 11 during regular office hours. Call 482-7827. December 6: Kindergarten information night. At 7 p.m., Redwood Heights School will hold an information meeting for prospective parents to hear about their programs and meet the teachers and the principal. This meeting is for parents only, in the auditorium. A Kindergarten Tea will be held later in the year to introduce children to the school. December 9: Renaissance Christmas concert and dinner. Enjoy a Renaissance dinner in the Sky Room at 6 p.m. (replete with food, drink, piping, and caroling), followed by a holiday concert in Regents' Theatre at 8 p.m., featuring the entire Holy Names music department. Tickets for the full event are $45; reservations required by December 1. Concert only: $15 general, $10 seniors, $5 students. For more information, call 436-1330 or e-mail li\@hnu.edu. December 9 and 16: Holiday tree and wreath sale. Get one of the best trees in town and support Redwood Heights School at the same time. The RHS Dads' Club receives the best trees from a local distributor who has generously worked with the club for 16 years. Dads' Club volunteers pick up the trees and deliver them to the school. For a small premium, they will deliver them right to your home. All details (prices, varieties, and delivery schedule) are on the school Web site, http://rhs.ousd.ca.campusgrid.net/home/Fundraisers/Holiday+Trees. Order forms are also available at the school office. January 27: Winter crab feast. The sixth annual Crab Feast, put on by the Dads' Club at RHS, will be held at the Redwood Heights Rec Center at 7 p.m. This fun adult evening features all the crab you can eat along with a full dinner, wine and beer, live music, and dancing, for $35 per person. All proceeds help the Dads' Club continue their support of the facilities and programs at RHS. Plus, it's also a great time to visit with friends and neighbors in our community. The crab feast sells out every year, so order your tickets early. Call Andreas Lorenz at 482-9502, or e-mail andreaslorenz\@sbcglobal.net.
