Recently, we upgraded our hosting package for our site and eliminated some of the constraints binding the usefulness of the site. In the coming weeks we will be updating the site and making constant improvements to it. Part of that updating entails some of the “nice” functionality lost from the base hosting package that requires rebuilding that capability with additional plugins. For those already subscribed to the site “Follow blog via e-mail”, no action is required. This information was imported to the new site. WordPress users subscribed by wordpress login need to opt-in via the “Follow blog via e-mail” on the front page or under the archives listing under News.
The changes allow us to better manage the information presented by the group and its usefulness towards the neighborhood. We appreciate everyones support, and strive to serve everyone in our community with the best and most pertinent information available.
As always, if you need to reach out to submit ideas, provide feedback, or unsubscribe, we would appreciate to hear from you via the Contact Us page
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:”

*The LWVCEF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization and never advocates. The League of Women Voters of California does operate a separate nonprofit 501(c)(4) organization that advocates on issues and sometimes makes recommendations on ballot measures.
History of Voter’s Edge California
The League of Women Voters of California Education Fund produced one of the nation’s first election information websites, SmartVoter.org. Since 1996, the Smart Voter project has been California’s premier online source for authoritative, nonpartisan coverage of election contests, candidates, and ballot measures.
MapLight’s Voter’s Edge tool was first designed to help voters understand the sources of funding behind ballot measures in California. In recent years, the project has expanded to cover candidates and elections in states beyond California.
In 2014, the League and MapLight joined forces to create a successful pilot project. The result is Voter’s Edge California.

With all the garbage in the news about voter fraud, mail delivery delays, and some states clearing voter registration rolls, do your due diligence!
Make sure you are registered, so your vote counts!
Every vote counts!
Not just for the National Election, but also for local issues impacting city, county, and State elections. Navigate to the Santa Clara County website and verify the validity of your voter registration information. If for some reason, your registration was dropped, register online.
After you vote, particularly if by mail, track your ballot on the county website to ensure it was indeed counted, and not dropped due to a technicality, or mismatched signatures, etc. If voting by mail, return the ballot ASAP via US mail, or drop it off at a designated drop-off location.
