ELLY VALASI am moving to Berkeley from Denver to be closer to my family. The Moshav appeals to me both because it will be a multi-generational community and will enhance my Jewish life. I have been interested in co-housing for several decades trying to conceive a communal setting to age in place with my closest friends.
I enjoy music of all types; travel(!), hiking, biking, walking and cooking. Since retiring as a small business consultant, I am raising and training Labrador/Golden retriever puppies for Canine Companions to become assistance dogs for veterans, autistic children and persons with physical disabilities. I will be bringing my pups to Berkeley where they will be happy to be entertained by Moshav children. I am active, engaged and a real “people person”, and I think I have a great sense of humor. I've been to 49 states, 30 countries and all 7 continents. I have six nieces and nephews and like to think I’m the world’s greatest Auntie. |
