Letter from the President You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream! What a wonderful time was had by all who attended the inaugural Association of Property Owners of Riverhill’s Ice Cream Social. More than 100 neighbors got together on a hot day for fellowship and to enjoy an ice cream sundae. We are thankful to all who attended and are looking forward to next year’s fun.

As we venture into the new school year, be mindful of the buses and kids in our neighborhood, especially early in the morning when the sun hasn’t risen yet. Speaking of school, I wanted to bring something to your attention that the Dietert Center offers: The Dynamic Learning Institute. This fall, the institute is offering 20 different classes, including “The Battle of Iwo Jima and Survivor Recollections,” “Living and Working Aboard Skylab, America’s First Space Station,” “9/11 at Ground Zero — Watching the World Change,” “Protecting Presidents and Vice Presidents,” “How Social Media Helped Elect Trump” and “Gettysburg — The Battle that Saved a Nation.”

The Dynamic Learning Institute opens this fall with a complimentary class featuring the Mike Kasberg Trio presenting “Popular Music in the USA 190050.” Registrants will enjoy the Trio perform songs that shaped the future of music across the world. This free event will fill up fast, so call and make reservations today. Look at the Fall Club-Ed Catalog online, clubed.net, or call 792-4044 for class information and registration.

National Night Out, organized by the APOR, is set for Tuesday, Oct. 2 from 5 to 7 p.m. There are seven streets in Riverhill holding this event. See the news section in this edition for more information.

Our annual meeting on Monday, Oct. 15 is fast approaching, so look for the ballot, president’s letter and proxy. We are a volunteer organization that tries our best to interpret the rules and make everyone happy. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. Remember if you are having anything done to the outside of your property, you need to submit the plans to the APOR, whether you are a member or not. I also suggest that you take some time and meet with your neighbors to discuss the changes. We may not always agree with each other, but we can still be courteous.

One more note, keep your eyes open for our first annual Christmas Lighting Contest.

National Night Out

By Andy Magee The Association of Property Owners of Riverhill would like to announce the host homes for National Night Out in Riverhill, which is from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 2.

This is an opportunity for neighbors to greet each other and create a support system to be the eyes and ears of their neighborhood. The fire and police departments will do their best to stop by to say “hello” and maybe McGruff, too.

Neighbors can bring their own chairs, drink of choice and an appetizer to share. It’s a simple and

easy event and a great way to connect.

The host homes include the Fergusons at 2404 Rock Creek; the Ables at 506 Oakland Hills Lane; the Summerlins at 105 Turnberry Circle; the Standridges at 514 Fairway; the Magees at 257 Highridge Drive; the Whetsells at 733 Oakland Hills Loop; the Cooks, Kutachs and Diggs on the Englewood culde-sac; the McMahons at 2311 Birkdale; as well as the Guerrieros and Mitchells at 307 and 313 Lakewood Drive.

We encourage you to participate at the host home nearest you.

Inaugural Christmas Decoration and Lighting Contest

By Sue Tiemann The Association of Property Owners of Riverhill is hosting its inaugural Christmas Decoration and Lighting Contest this holiday season.

Contest rules

6 Fall 2018

The streets are owned, maintained and policed by the city of Kerrville. The narrow streets, particularly in the townhouse area, make on-street parking undesirable. Also, longterm parking of pick-up trucks, vans or similar type vehicles does not enhance neighborhood appearance. Good housekeeping of your property includes picking up loose rocks, nails, trash, etc. in the street in front of your property and removing curbside weeds.

Please ask workmen to park their vehicles so as not to block any traffic.

Two-way traffic must be maintained.

Boats, campers, trailers and recreational vehicles of all kinds are not allowed on the property or street, except for the purpose of loading and unloading, but for no longer than 24 hours.

Traffic Circle Construction Update Before

By Karen Guerriero The Riverhill Boulevard traffic circle project is near completion. The circles contain deer and drought tolerant plants that will be maintained and replaced, as needed. The rock barrier was designed to contain the soil and act as a moveable and easily repairable buffer in the instance of a traffic collision. The city of Kerrville has added large button street markers on the approach to the circles to help reduce traffic.

Summer Yards of the Month

June

Bill and Margo Jewell’s home on Boyington won the June Yard of the Month.

Their new home with rockscapes and xeriscaped landscaping, which includes different and intentional areas of interest, looks beautiful.

It’s such a nice statement to see as you enter the subdivision from Highway 173 to Riverhill Boulevard.

8 Fall 2018

Julie and Frank Dunlap’s home on Englewood won the August Yard of the Month.

Not only is the Dunlaps’ front yard neatly manicured and pleasing to the eye, but their backyard also is a delight. A lovely shaded patio with native plants hugs the home and provides a great view of the healthy lawn that rolls out to Camp Meeting Creek. Their backyard is best viewed from the Riverhill Golf Course.

Feast your eyes on this beautifully landscaped oasis with an attractive pool and pergola area. Gorgeous ferns, multi-level shrubbery and lighting make this home a winner.

Fairway Drive Block Party

Residents of Fairway Drive hold block parties throughout the year, especially for special occasions. Last year, George and Bebe Hyde hosted a Halloween Hoot in their driveway and garage. They began with a Martini Walk, where participants started at the beginning of the street, headed down to the end cul-de-sac — gathering other residents along the way — and ended with a cookout. All Fairway residents are invited to participate in their block parties.

Last year, residents on Springmill decked out their yards to celebrate the fall season and Halloween.

Q&A

Mary Ellen Summerlin

Q: How long have you lived in Riverhill, and

why did you decide to move there?

A:

We bought our house in Riverhill in the summer of 1999. Tim had taken the position of provost at Schreiner University, and this house was ideally located — five minutes from the campus, but also quiet and private.

Q: What do you like best about living in Riverhill?

A: We enjoy golfing and dining as part of our

membership, and our safe neighborhood for walking — especially our access to the Kerrville River Trail.

Q:

What is your favorite thing to do in Kerrville or Kerr County?

A:

We love all kinds of music and art. Kerrville and Kerr County are full of opportunities for activities featuring both. We also still enjoy the beauty of the Hill Country as much as we did when we first arrived.

A:

My last paying job was “consulting,” along with Tim for the Council of Independent Colleges. We mentored prospective college presidents and their spouses through seminars and conversations. In Kerrville, I’ve worked part time as the general manager of Riverside Nature Center, as a tutor for students with learning disabilities at Schreiner University, served on the Headwaters Groundwater Conservation District and was appointed to a partial term on the city council. In other places, I’ve been a teacher, social worker, council member and mayor of Port Arthur. My favorite job was being a stay-at-home mom for about 15 years.

I always have a few volunteer jobs going, too.

Q:

What is your favorite holiday tradition that your family and/or friends do?

A:

During nearly every Christmas season, members of my family gather to make ravioli together in honor of

10 Fall 2018

Q: What hobbies or activities do you enjoy in your free time?

A: Travel is my all-time favorite hobby. I also indulge

in my movie, reading and cooking hobbies more often.

Q: What are you most proud of?

A: I’m always aware of the great blessings I’ve

enjoyed all my life. I am proud that I’ve had chances to contribute to efforts to make things better for people wherever I’ve lived. I’m proud of Schreiner University and our community. I’m also enormously proud of my children, grandchildren and extended family.

Q: What is your biggest pet peeve?

A: I’m a bit of a grammar fussbudget. It annoys

me to hear, “with Katie and I,” for example, instead of “with Katie and me;” or to hear “everyone should silence their phone,” instead of “everyone should silence his or her phone.” I may have to give up on the latter. I think “their” is winning out as a no-gender possessive pronoun.

Q:

What’s the best advice you’ve been given and from whom?

A:

As someone with perfectionist temptations, I have treasured, used and shared this simple advice since I first heard it from Dr. Arnold Lazarus, a professor at Yale University, nearly 50 years ago: “There’s always more than one good way.”

Q:

What are the best and worst things about getting older for you?

A:

The best thing about getting older is seeing how things and people turn out. It is wonderful to

Q:

Where do you work and/or volunteer, and what is your job title and/or role there?

our Italian heritage. We spend all day making enough of my grandmother’s recipe for each individual family to enjoy the dish on Christmas Day. Everyone has a job mixing, rolling, stuffing or sealing the pasta. The youngest or newest helper gets to stick each one with a needle, so it won’t burst while cooking.

me to hear what my kids, their friends and cousins are doing in their lives, and see similarities emerge with their parents or even grandparents. The worst part definitely is having to give so much more time and attention to staying healthy and fit.

Q: Who inspires you?

A: My church, First Presbyterian in Kerrville, and

the whole Presbyterian Church USA inspires me regularly. We are a random bunch of seekers who really are “growing towards God-centered worship, Christ-centered service and Spirit-led lives.”

Q:

What goal are you currently working on?

A: I want to learn Italian better. I may never be really fluent, but it’s a good brain exercise.

Q: What is on your bucket list?

A: My bucket list includes Machu Picchu, Scandinavia,

”

Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean islands, all the states and national parks I haven’t visited yet, more of South America — way more than I have time to do.

Q: What is the best gift you ever received?

A: The best gift I ever received, hands down,

was our trip to Italy last summer with our children and grandchildren. We stayed in Umbria and made day trips, including one to visit relatives in Santarcangelo di Romagna. Those two weeks were even better than I had imagined.

Q:

What is something you think everyone should do at least once in their lives?

A:

I think everyone should try, at least once, to do work that is so fulfilling that it doesn’t even seem like work. If a person hasn’t found it yet, I hope he or she will keep looking. I think it’s one of the best feelings in life to work with all your heart, paid or unpaid, for something you totally believe in.

Artists K

of Riverhill

By Nancy Foster errville has long been known as an artist’s mecca and for good reason. The area’s natural beauty provides an endless, inspirational blank canvas for creative types.

A vast array of resources are available through the many art centers, workshops and courses throughout the Hill Country for those who wish to learn or perfect

their craft. There’s an array of art shows, galleries, museums and public places that provide outlets to showcase and sell their works.

The Riverhill community has a sizable number of talented artist residents, including the five talented ladies featured in this article. They share a passion to create, a quest to learn and a willingness to help others who want to develop their creative side.

Linda Ehrenreich This gracious lady settled in Riverhill 11 years ago and loves it here. Linda developed a love of art at an early age and won art scholarships as far back as junior high. Her professional career included years as both a commercial artist and an art teacher.

After her husband, Dan, retired from the Air Force and they moved to Kerrville, Linda found no shortage of inspiration for her art. She enjoys nature-based subjects and loves to incorporate light and the color contrast it brings out “when it hits a person’s face or in a landscape.”

Her involvement with the Kerr Arts and Cultural Center and its member shows, commission portraits, participation in Peterson Health’s Community Art Lending Program and word of mouth keeps her as busy as she wants — but still leaving plenty of time for her other passion: golf.

Linda is “awed by other people’s art. Here, in Riverhill, we have an informal group of artists who love plein air art. We go out, paint, then critique each other’s work and learn from one another. Riverhill is just a wonderful place to live, especially if you’re an artist.”

Carol Arnold Carol Arnold has been into art for ages, but it wasn’t until 20 years ago, following a lengthy career in petroleum land management in Dallas, that she began to sell her work. She credits her growth as an artist to studies done under well-known local artists Kathleen Cook and Rod McGeheee.

“The creation of art feeds my soul and brings me a certain kind of peace,” she said.

This talented artist specializes in pastel and acrylic landscapes, cloudscapes and “God’s creations that surround us.”

“Nature inspires me,” she said. “Each piece of my work captures something I have seen or done, so it is very personal. It brings me joy to brighten someone’s day with my art.”

Carol is a member of the Kerr Arts and Cultural Center, the Hill Country Arts Foundation and the Pastel Society of America. She has won numerous awards, including Best of Show in KACC’s Kerr Art Club Juried Show in 2017 and first place in the 2017 Members Show at HCAF. Five of her paintings have been purchased by the James Avery Headquarters and hundreds of acrylic dog portraits have been sold as commissioned works. Her current works are on display and for sale at Slate Gray Gallery in downtown Kerrville, and at their location in Telluride, Colorado.

She also sells through her Instagram account, Carnold523, and on Facebook, Carol Arnold Art. Left: Carol Arnold with “Wander Lust” on display at Slate Gray Gallery. Photo by Nancy Foster.

Hildegarde Slaughter Hildegarde Slaughter studied art history at Bowling Green State University in Ohio and has painted for 50 years — although, it wasn’t until her move to Kerrville 30 years ago that she devoted serious time to it.

During a visit to Santa Fe, New Mexico, she discovered encaustic painting and was so taken with the dramatic style that she learned the technique at the Southwest School of Art 10 years ago. This painting method, frequently referred to as hot wax painting, is now used in many of her works.

This talented and personable lady also paints in acrylics and mixed media, finding great inspiration in nature and color. She is a member of the International Encaustic Artists and Kerr Arts and Cultural Center as well as looks forward to participating in KACC’s 25th Anniversary Visions 10 Exhibitions in 2019. Hildegarde loves living here.

“Living in Riverhill on this great golf course and in an art-oriented community, like Kerrville, with the Hill Country Arts Foundation, the KACC and the Museum of Western Art — it’s like living in paradise.”

Halsey Bascom Halsey is quite the talented lady. This native Texan has been a freelance writer, taught language arts, edited the Aston Martin Owners Club quarterly and was a designer with Halsey Clifton Couture, as well as studied painting and design at the Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Since moving to Riverhill in 2005, she has found more time to devote to her art and has developed a special passion for Raku, an ancient Japanese pottery process of glazing and firing. Halsey is basically selftaught in this distinct art medium and creates her own designs, a painstaking and time-consuming process.

“I like that when you do Raku, you basically put it in God’s hands and each piece comes out the way it was meant to,” she said.

You can see examples of Halsey’s Raku and mosaic works on public display around Kerrville, including at the entrance of Francisco’s Restaurant, inside The Kerrville Daily Times and the sign in the lobby of the Kerrville Area Chamber of Commerce.

Shari Vahidi Shari Vahidi has been dabbling in art for as long as she can remember. As a child, she took art classes and went on to study art at a major university in her home town of Tehran, Iran.

In 1999, she wound up in Kerrville and settled in Riverhill in 2004.

During the week, she stays busy as a popular hair stylist at Lucky’s of Texas on Medina Highway; but on weekends, she’ll be out and about doing what she loves best — painting in the plein air art style in Kerrville.

“I love to isolate the beauty of nature through my art,” she said with the broad smile. “It is so therapeutic to capture the beauty on canvas and create my own pieces of art.”

Shari’s work is displayed at Lucky’s of Texas and at Pint and Plow Brewing Company.

At the Club

Thankful for our members E The Ables since 1976 Steve and Lynda Ables have been members of the club since 1976 and have lived within the Riverhill community since 1992. Being one of the longest tenured members of the club, one of many benefits they’ve really enjoyed with their membership has been the lasting friendships they have made. The

The Brownings since 1979 Carl and Mary Jo Browning have been members of the club for 38 years. After moving to Kerrville in 1973, Carl and Mary Jo would drive around Riverhill and say, “Maybe one of these days we can join.”

Which is exactly what they did in 1979, and they have not regretted it.

“I’m tickled to death with what Southern Golf Properties has done,” said Carl, who won the Byron Nelson Invitational — Member-Guest.

After playing numerous rounds of golf on our

stablished in 1974, Riverhill Country Club has evolved from “one of the best kept secrets in Texas” to a bustling, family-oriented, premier country club in the Hill Country. Many members have come and gone through the 44 years that the country club has been around.

However, we are fortunate enough to have members who are still with us; some since the very beginning.

Ables have witnessed the evolution of Riverhill, and they believe that it’s the best it’s ever been.

“The course is in great shape; the addition of the fitness center and the deck overlooking 18 greens have truly enhanced Riverhill,” Steve said.

championship course, Carl said, “I’m still not tired of playing Riverhill.”

The Ricks since 1979 Ken and Margaret Ricks have called Riverhill home since 1979 and have been socially active at the club, attending our dining events regularly, participating in our golf tournaments and enjoying the wine club.

“We could have moved anywhere in the United States, and we chose Riverhill,” Ken said.

The Schneiders since 1981 Dr. Rick and Melissa Schneider joined in 1981, so Rick could play golf with his new friends. Those friendships of 40 years have been one of the best things about living in Kerrville. Rick and Melissa used the club socially to entertain guests, Melissa and their children used the pool and the kids took tennis lessons.

“I have always felt that, for the small size of town Kerrville was years ago, we were extremely lucky to have a golf course and club of Riverhill’s quality,” Rick said.

The Finchs since 1982 Bob and Delores Finch have been members since 1982. Bob actually first heard about the club from Harvey Penick when Bob was member of the Austin Country Club. Bob came to see Riverhill, was having dinner at the club by himself and was asked to join

another table. It just so happened the folks who asked Bob to join them were none other than Stewart and Sherman Hunt, the original owners and developers of Riverhill. From that moment on, Bob said he knew that he wanted to make Riverhill his home.

Since moving to Kerrville, Bob has built two homes in Riverhill and headed up the green renovations back in the 1990s — saving club members thousands of dollars in doing so. At age 91, Bob still plays golf regularly and shoots well below his age the majority of the time.

Let’s not leave out Nina Wright, who has been a loyal member of Riverhill since 1976; Dr. Chuck O’Donnell, who joined the club in 1976; and Charles Brightwell, who has been “Riverhill Proud” since 1978.

Every single one of these folks I’ve mentioned define what it means to be “Riverhill Proud.”

There’s a lot to be said about loyalty.

What was that?

M

aking rare, exciting and unexpected appearances in Riverhill is the greater roadrunner.

With swift-footed ground movements; unique and, sometimes, large stature; as well as a distinctive head crest; the roadrunner is a true show-stopper!

One of the last bird species to be given state protection, the roadrunner is well suited for life in the Texas Hill Country. Mainly carnivorous, roadrunners dine on a variety of insects, lizards, snakes, frogs and other amphibians. They also rely on their prey for water intake. If, and when, you are lucky enough to witness one of these amazing birds, try and embrace the experience — but, do it quick! Beep, Beep and they are gone!

Fast facts about roadrunners: • Roadrunners can fly, but only for a minute or less.

• They eat mostly small mammals, reptiles, frogs, toads, insects, centipedes, scorpions and birds.

• They also are called chaparral bird.

• They are capable of running up to 20 mph.

• Their average size is 20-24 inches from beak to tail.

• Their reflexes are so sharp that they can snatch a dragonfly in midair.

• They make a distinct, slow dove-like “coo” and also a rapid, clattering sound with their beak.

• They lower their body temperature on cold nights

Facts, games and

more fun with

roadrunners

to conserve energy.

• They nest between 3 and 15 feet from the ground in trees, shrubs or cactus clumps.

• They lay between two and six eggs per clutch, with both the mother and father incubating the eggs.

• Because of their speed, they’re one of the few animals that prey on rattlesnakes.

Make a game out of it Here are a couple fun ideas for you and your children or grandchildren can do to learn more about roadrunners.

Set out on a roadrunner search. Bring binoculars, a camera and some roadrunner information, which can be found online, including allaboutbirds.org and americanexpedition.us/learn-about-wildlife.

Another idea is to watch some clips of the popular Looney Tunes cartoon with Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner on YouTube.

If you have any other fun ideas for wildlife sightings or photos of your finds, email them to me.

Trip Tips

Let travel be your teacher

S

tudy abroad experiences stretch college students’ horizons, and mission trips help teenagers see a world different from their own. We expect young people to learn from travel, but do we anticipate the same for ourselves? We often say, “Yes,” but fail to do what it takes to make it happen.

We may be a tourist, a pilgrim or adventurer — it doesn’t matter.

Anyone can let travel be their teacher by setting an intention before leaving, paying attention to it and seizing surprises along the way. When we capture our experiences in a journal, we can reflect on the insights gained.

That’s when the learning takes place.

Objection A frequent objection is one misses travel experiences. Early morning or late evening can offer quiet time to

write, or you can convert hours of transportation to useful writing. This is why it’s key to find simple methods that don’t take much time.

• Pack thoughtfully: Travel with an open mind by including intangibles, such as attitudes, preconceptions, biases, beliefs and values.

• What kinds of diversity might you discover?

Think broadly, culturally, educationally, economically, geologically, naturally and agriculturally.

Themes for your travel A purposeful method of journaling is to choose a theme for the trip. If you choose to focus on architecture, then create questions that go beyond the obvious.

• What traditional and contemporary construction methods and materials are used and why?

• What topographic, geological or historical factors affected the building structure’s design?

• How are the homes different from ours and for what reasons?

These inquiries set in motion intentional travel, allowing you to pay closer attention while roaming the world. We experience the trip more

Quick tips

• What is the one thing that would make you uncomfortable? Do it and write about it.

The only things that interest me are people and ideas.

I love going on trips that shock me, where everything I believe in — my religion, my politics, my social outlook — is immediately challenged with diametrically different viewpoints.

deeply and, as a result, discover richer insights.

Choose from simple journaling techniques 1. Categorize differences between the culture you’re visiting and your own.

2. Write about the most influential part of your day, recalling one significant conversation, historical fact or memorable event.

3. Create a 3-D table — including the date, destination and discovery — of what you learned in 25 words or less.

4. Identify the three E’s of daily travel: event, emotion and exploration.

5. Each day, draft a short poem about something particular or a haiku, a traditional form of Japanese poetry.

6. Ask other travelers to record memorable moments from their day in your journal.

7. List new foreign vocabulary words and their meaning.

8. Describe trees, plants, birds or animals new to you.

Artistic journaling Try artistic approaches. Make a collage out of keepsake items, such as tickets, coffee sleeves or maps. Sketch a scene, historical building or unique

Quarter Page

road sign. Ask children you meet along the way to draw or color in your journal. Create a mind map of the day’s activities.

Journaling supplies People who journal choose supplies to fit their personality and the circumstances of their trip. Do you prefer a ballpoint or gel pen, colored markers or pencils? Do you like a sketchpad, spiral bound notebook or a classic leather-bound journal? Will you be at the beach or in a rain forest? Waterproof paper and pencils are available; otherwise, a zip-close bag will protect your supplies.

Mindful, intentional journal writing allows travel to serve as a guide, mentor and teacher.

1. On the mornings Grace Guerriero didn’t herd her host family’s sheep, she descended two miles into the valley to milk cows. 2. Grace with her host family’s burro in Ecuador. 3. Grace in traditional Ecuadorian dress with her Amigos de las Americas community partner, Nina, of California. 4. Grace working with the community alpacas.

t has been four weeks since I left American soil, leaving all I have known best behind me. We began our journey on an afternoon flight, landing in Quito, Ecuador, early in the morning, where we stayed in a quaint hostel for the night.

That morning, we took a five-hour bus ride to Guamote, Ecuador, a small town nestled in the hills, full of cobblestone streets and a grand cathedral.

We had training in Guamote for three days, which were the longest three days my life. We trained morning until night, and I was itching to get into the community. Little did I realize, that absolutely no training could have prepared me for the immense culture and lifestyle change of the Ecuadorian Andes.

Although no words could illustrate my experience, to put it briefly, Ecuador is 100 percent a Third World

country. Nina, a girl from California, and I were placed in San Miguel de Chacaza, Ecuador. Our community was at 12,600 feet, accompanied by year-round cold weather and steep inclination. The average house there is smaller than a master bedroom in America, and it has dirt floors and one bedroom, which can sleep up to five family members. Kitchens are mud huts, which are separate from the house, because of the production of smoke and ash, as meals are often cooked over a fire.

Each and every person in my community treated me with the utmost care and compassion, offering all they have — especially my loving host family. I lived with six siblings: Jessica, 20; Merci, 17; Klever, 16; Adrianna, 12; Wilson, 8; and Nerquis, 4. At such a young age, they are responsible for many chores and labor around the house, while also balancing

school work for the three days they attend. While elementary kids go to school down the street, teenagers have to walk nearly two hours to go to high school or hitch a ride into Guamote.

An average day would begin at 4 a.m., two hours before the sun comes up. We then helped start a fire and cooked breakfast, which primarily is either rice and potatoes or soup. Then, we could either walk two miles uphill to herd the family’s sheep or descend two miles into the valley to “saca la leche” or milk the cow. Everyday, at precisely noon, someone new from the community would invite Nina and I to have lunch with their family. On average, we were presented with guinea pig soup, an Ecuadorian delicacy, or dried potatoes and rice. To drink, we had boiled water and sugar or “horchata,” which is made with sugar, water and oats. From 1 to 3 p.m., we usually have down time, and I journaled or sketched.

Then, from 3 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, Nina and I hosted “campamentos,” or after school camps, for kids ages 4-17 in the community. Nina and I had the opportunity to work with the kids on leadership skills and educational lessons, relating to the theme of the week. We taught by discussion and playing games throughout campamentos. After a long day, we headed home for dinner, which was usually rice and potatoes or soup, then hit the hay — literally. My bed was made of hay, while Nina

slept on wood planks. Typically, we went to sleep at 8 p.m., it was usually pitch black by then. The darkness then revealed thousands of stars, as no light pollution has hit this little piece of heaven.

Nina and I also had the responsibility of working one-on-one with the president and secretary of the community to help facilitate a micro-enterprise project. So far, we have helped host two community meetings and presented ideas for projects in front of more than 50 members of the community. There was much debate, but we plan to sponsor “pasta azules,” a nutritious plant for the community’s prosperous “cuyerias,” or guinea pig farms. We are planning to host a fundraiser, such as a movie or town dance, to raise money for this project.

That has been most of my trip, and I was incredibly busy, but also very accustomed to the vastly different lifestyle.

To add some last words, I am so incredibly appreciative to have the opportunity to meet such caring people and to make connections of a lifetime. Thank you to all who have made this adventure possible for me and for all the support my community has given me.

Grace, 16, is a student at Tivy High School who traveled to Ecuador with the Amigos de las Americas organization. Her grandmother, Margaret Guerriero, headed the Houston chapter of the organization for 10 years, and her father, Layng, also participated in the program. She wrote about her experience while she was still serving abroad and returned home Aug. 15.

That tradition continues today with the friendships still formed and strengthened on the rolling hills of Riverhill Country Club just as Byron Nelson had hoped.

You are invited to be a part of that tradition and the present celebration of the game of golf, fabulous dining and events, world-class tennis, swim and fun for your entire family.

Many families have taken part in what Riverhill has become over the past 112 years when it began as the mansion at Cedarcrest. Many families return generation after generation to enjoy the important history of this estate and the wonderful part the club continues to play in their lives.
