Resident Feature Monica spent some of her teen years in Sao Paulo, Brazil, making her fluent in Portuguese. She graduated from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign in engineering and later attended Seattle University for her MBA. Monica adds, “My favorite position at Boeing was working with the FAA to certify airplanes for delivery. “After many years in Seattle, I decided I needed a change, some warmer, sunnier weather. Fortunately, Adam was in tech so it was easy for him to get a job in California. So in March 2015 we moved first to Danville, then to Northgate in 2016. As soon as the realtor opened the door, I knew this was my house. Since moving here, I have been healing from the stresses of being an engineer and finding a new path for myself, which turned into a business, Omthentic You Wellness Center.” She studied meditation (which she was introduced to by her dad at the age of 8), ayurveda, yoga, energy clearing, reiki and life coaching. She adds, “I love helping women see the possibilities, strategizing by playing with energy, and making a greater impact.” She also teaches classes at Behavioral Fitness and leads a meditation group through Walnut Creek Area Neighbors and Newcomers Club.

Meet the Steins: The Engineers Who Found Their Flow By Kara Navolio, Resident since 1991 Photos provided by the Stein family

onica and Adam Stein bonded over softball, a shared love of the Chicago Cubs, and similar careers in engineering. They met while playing co-ed softball on Mercer Island, outside Seattle. They were both from Chicago; Monica grew up in the Skokie area, and Adam was

born in Chicago (although mostly grew up in Nashville). Both came to Seattle for work. Monica worked for Boeing as an aerospace engineer, and Adam worked as a software test engineer for Microsoft. Even though Monica cancelled their first date, they eventually rescheduled and started a romance that led to their 2002 marriage. Being engineers, they carefully chose their wedding date for the historically driest and sunniest weekend of the year for Seattle. Adam says, “even though the date caused our softball team to forfeit out of the playoffs. The day ended up overcast with a little bit of rain, but it made for great photos.” 6

Monica also enjoys quilting, and reading and describes herself as a life-long learner. She volunteers at Book Friends (the used bookstore in Ygnacio Plaza that supports the Contra Costa County Library System) and is the past president of Mount Diablo Business Women. But her biggest passion is fostering dogs and helping people keep their pets if that is the best path for them. Monica says, “I’d love to open up a Healing Arts Retreat Center and to have a vacation home on the beach. And so it is!” Adam has worked at Amazon, Twitter, and Eventbrite and is now helping companies as a software engineering consultant, serving on boards and teaching financial wisdom to tech workers. He spends most Sundays playing softball at Heather Farm. He also serves on the board of their synagogue’s brotherhood group and organizes a monthly “Burger Break.” He is the author of the patent for autocomplete in Excel. He has visited 31 major league ballparks and has a goal to visit every current park. The Steins love board games and have recently started joining friends at Behavioral Fitness’ open game play on Fridays (open to all, see www.behavioralfitnesstoday.com). Monica also teaches mahjong there. Adam NOVEMBER 2026

adds, “We both inherited the tradition of being good hosts from our parents. We usually have friends and family over for holidays, birthdays and ‘just because it’s sunny’ days.” Monica adds, “It’s amazing to live in a neighborhood where we know and talk to our neighbors. I get to live by the canal trail, the park, and get a view of the mountain. We are invited to neighbors’ homes for

Christmas and invite them for Jewish holidays.” The Stein family loves, hugs, and laughs together; they dream big, are grateful, have fun, cheer for the Cubs and foster dogs to save lives. Say hello if you see them out walking their elderly pups, Baxter and Avry, in the dog stroller.

Food, Wine & Entertaining

It’s that time of year! Get ready for holiday cookies! By Lisa Crossett, Resident since 2001

t’s that magical time of year again—crisp air, crackling fires, and holiday decorations in full swing. For me, the holidays are synonymous with baking cookies and savoring the warm, comforting aroma of freshly baked treats filling the house. I have my go-to favorites, the ones that are always a hit, but I also love experimenting with new recipes each year to expand my repertoire. Baking holiday cookies has become a cherished part of my holiday tradition. One of my longstanding holiday rituals is dedicating two full days to baking cookies to share with my neighbors. Each year, I head to TJ Maxx or HomeGoods in midOctober to pick up festive boxes to package the cookies. One neighbor in particular is obsessed with my Russian Tea Cakes— he even hides a few for himself! I also bring my cookies to our family Christmas celebration, where they’ve become a staple. For the past 13 years, I’ve been part of a special tradition with a group of friends who also happen to be food bloggers. Every year, we gather for a gourmet potluck and cookie exchange. We’re spread across the Bay Area, from Walnut Creek and Novato to San Mateo, Fremont, Concord, Danville, and Portola Valley, making it an exciting rotation of hosts each year. Each of us prepares a festive package of half a dozen cookies to exchange, along with a share platter for everyone to enjoy during dessert. It’s a fun, heartwarming event I look forward to every year. Another great holiday idea is hosting a cookie-baking party with friends. Each guest brings a batch of dough to bake and decorate together. While the cookies are being made, you can enjoy festive cocktails and appetizers. A simple yet elegant cocktail idea is a glass of prosecco with a splash of pomegranate juice, garnished with fresh cranberries on a decorative toothpick or a sprig of rosemary. Don’t forget to have everyone bring containers to take home a delightful assortment of cookies! The holiday season is truly sweeter when shared, and baking cookies is one of the best ways to spread the joy.

NOVEMBER 2026

Russian Tea Cake Cookies •

1 cup butter

•

¼ teaspoon salt

•

½ cup powdered sugar

•

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

•

1 teaspoon vanilla

•

¾ cup dry roasted chopped pecans

In a stand mixer, cream the room temperature butter and sugar together until fluffy. Add the salt and vanilla and combine. Slowly incorporate the flour until combined. Add the pecans and mix. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Form one inch round balls (about 1 tablespoon) and place onto a cookie sheet. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes until the bottoms are lightly browned. Fill a bowl with powdered sugar and roll each cookie in the sugar until coated. Place on a large platter to cool. I typically repeat rolling each cookie in the sugar 2 to 3 times, to ensure full coverage.

Charity Spotlight

A Vision to Transform Northgate High School’s Athletic Facilities By Kara Navolio, Resident since 1991

Artist’s rendering of the future Bronco Barn Concession Stand and Restrooms Northgate Community Pride Foundation (NCPF), founded in 1999, has been resurrected after many years of inactivity. The foundation was originally formed to improve facilities at Northgate High School (NHS) by a group of committed parent volunteers. It started with a new gym floor and moved to a renovation of the aging Little Theatre. Then in 2008 the sports complex was completed, allowing home football games for the first time in NHS’s history. Bleachers and lights followed and were in place by 2011. The swimming pool was the final project of the original group, completed in 2014. Now a new group of parents are ready to embark on a $1.2 million fund-raising campaign to upgrade the stadium with a digital scoreboard, concessions stand, restrooms, and a team & equipment storage facility. Fred Wilson, one of Northgate’s soccer coaches and a parent of two, is leading the revival of NCPF as the nonprofit to take on these challenges. Beyond this current project, Fred wants to make sure that NCPF becomes a lifelong partner with the high school. “I want to build something that will be here long after I’m gone,” he says, “to ensure future generations of parents can maintain the partnership.” It started with a chance encounter years ago when Fred met Mark Lynch. Mark 12

was one of the original founders of NCPF. Mark’s son had a famous dog named Henny, who knew how to skateboard, and Fred happened to see Henny on Doncaster Drive near the pool. The two chatted about Henny. Then last year Fred was matched with Mark in a golf tournament and they reconnected, this time talking about Northgate and eventually NCPF. Mark provided Fred with essential historical information about NCPF, which has allowed Fred to re-establish NCPF as a 501c3, an organization well-known in the community for doing great things. Fred and his small board (including his wife Stephanie, a 1995 Northgate graduate) launched their campaign in October and hope to raise the money they need by mid2028. They are pursuing funding from all sources they can imagine including public and private grants, business partnerships, school district funding, and gifts from the community. Spread the word to all past, present and future Northgate families! Fred adds, “What I’m so impressed by is the number of people in this community that stay here after graduation from Northgate or come back to raise their kids here.” If you’d like to see how you can help or get involved, please visit www. northgatecommunitypride.org .

“It’s about creating an environment that matches the character and commitment of Northgate High School’s students.”
