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

COVID-19 updates from Santa Clara County

Posted on by 24x7 WP Support

On February 3, 2021 County Supervisor Mike Wasserman issued his monthly newsletter. Within it he included updated information pertaining to vaccinations and testing. In an excerpt from his newsletter:

“Since January 28th, the County of Santa Clara Health System has been offering COVID-19 vaccinations to residents 65 years old and older, following the State’s updated guidance. We continue to urge the State to allocate more vaccines to the County so that we can increase the number of vaccinations each day.

Local residents within the eligible categories (who are not a regular patient of Kaiser, Palo Alto Medical Foundation or Stanford Healthcare) can schedule an appointment through one of Santa Clara Valley Medical Center’s vaccination clinic sites. For Kaiser, Palo Alto Medical Foundation or Stanford Healthcare patients, please contact your healthcare provider for vaccination eligibility and scheduling.

President Joe Biden recently announced that the Federal government plans to purchase 200 million more COVID-19 vaccine doses from Pfizer and Moderna. This would result in fully vaccinating the American population by the end of summer or early fall of 2021.

For our part, the County will continue to administer as many vaccines as we are given as quickly as possible and will continue to follow the rules set by the Federal and State governments for distribution.”

Vaccination Appointments can be schedule through the SCC website with each of the various medical facilities serving the county.

 

“Testing is still a critical tool in the fight against COVID-19. While some people have gone in for regular testing for months, others are seeking it out for the first time. Widespread testing provides a more accurate picture of how many cases exist in our community and helps the County Public Health Department understand how and where the virus is spreading.

Visit the County’s COVID-19 testing website to:”

    • Search for a Test Site
    • Search for sites by City
    • Search for sites Near You
    • Search for sites by Date
    • Search for sites by Provider
    • See All County Testing Sites

Schedule a free test through the SCC website
