Native Plant Garden for Los Paseos Park
Update 3/20/2020 – This event has been postponed indefinitely due to the current public health crisis from the COVID-19 outbreak and subsequent shelter in place orders issued by the Santa Clara County Health Officer and followed by the Governor statewide stay at home order.
Stay home! Stay safe!
Los Paseos Neighborhood Association has a grant from the City of San Jose to start a native plant garden in Los Paseos Park this year. I am leading the project along with Hita Bambhania-Modha, and we are looking for volunteers to help us plan and implement the garden. This is a great opportunity to contribute to the community and meet like-minded neighbors. We are going to start getting our hands dirty with a volunteer event on
Sunday, March 29th
If you are interested in helping, please contact me by email at treasurer@lospaseosneighbors.com.

First General Meeting of 2020
Hello, Neighbors.
Our first meeting of 2020 is next week, Thursday, 7:00 p.m. Again, we are holding the meeting in the gym building of the Los Paseos Elementary School – a close walk-to place, or a quick drive-to place. Check our meeting agenda, with lots of new information for you!
- An update from SJPD on current Crime Stats in our neighborhoods
- An update on the CALMS camera project – discuss the good, accumulative effectiveness of the program so far
- An update from District 2 Office on upcoming events, completed projects, plans for the future
- San Jose’s Environmental Services Department – residential recycling. Recycling markets have changed, prompting questions and some confusion around current practices. The presentation covers how to recycle properly, new tips and information, and how San José is responding to global shifts in recycling markets, particularly China’s National Sword policy, which restricts imports of certain recyclables.
