Holiday Yard Trees and Holiday Event

Posted on by Alan Chan
Hello, Los Paseos Neighbors.

 

LPNA is again offering 4-5 feet tall Plantation Douglas fir trees available for sale at our cost to people who want to place them into their yard. Cost this year is $23.75 per tree, and $9.95 for rebar (5/8”x6 feet tall). Rebar for those who don’t already have one.
Please order your tree by Monday, October 30, so the trees can be prepared for shipment from the Washington Plantation Douglas fir site, arriving in time here for the Holiday Event pickup day.
The trees can be picked up at the Los Paseos Holiday Event on Saturday, Dec 2, at the Los Paseos HOA clubhouse at 7047 Via Ramada starting at 10 o’clock. The trees will look as good as they did last year. In the attached photo, see an example of a tree in a yard.
To order a tree, reply to this email, send an email to president@lospaseosneighbors.com, or call and leave me a message at 408-623-9156.
P.S. A separate email will be sent regarding details of this year’s Holiday Event, and of a method for tree placement in yard.
Regards,
Greg Peck

We are offering priority dumping opportunity before 8:00 to anyone who volunteers for 1 hour. We need volunteers to attend to each dumpster and directing traffic to available dumpsters. We also need some help with occasional heavy lifting. Residents will be responsible for unloading their items for the most part, but we need to have a few volunteers available to help with larger items.

Hello, Neighbors.

We thank 650 neighbors who came and enjoyed pizza, ice cream, the Crimson Blues Band, Brian the Bubble Guy, and a Chalk Art contest. That’s an increase of 150 attendees over last year. See a couple of pictures of the event in this email.
Our neighbors also got to meet and thank members of the San Jose Police Department and the California Highway Patrol, and of course, the firefighters and engines of Station 27 were again a big hit. We even got a fly-over and salute from an SJPD helicopter!
In addition, we had visits from Mayor Matt Mahan, our Councilmember Arjun Batra, State Senator Dave Cortese, and County Supervisor Sylvia Arenas. We thank the over 25 neighborhood volunteers who made the event possible, setting up, taking down, and handing out pizza. We also encourage our neighbors to support the local sponsors who contribute much to the event.
Helping again this year were the City of San Jose and Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services; PremierOne Credit Union; Grocery Outlet; Five Star Pizza, and Costco. We also welcomed two new sponsors: Starbucks and MedVet.
National Night Out will return next year on Tuesday, August 6th. We hope to see many of you again then. The Board of Los Paseos Neighborhood Association Greg Peck, Karen Lattin, Barbara Canup, Alan Chan, Herb Bowen, Lynne Steele, and Peter Chen
