You’re probably wondering why we see so much information flowing over from STBNA? Well, simply put, it never hurts to learn from other neighborhood associations what issues they have to solve. However, in particular, Rolund LeBrun serving as President for the STBNA group also works tirelessly on traffic issues that impact our area. In particular, he devotes a great deal of his time advocating on our behalf to ensure High Speed Rail implementation is handled properly without destroying our neighborhoods. To that end, 11/28 is the November monthly meeting for STBNA, details follow:
Date: 11/28
Location: Santa Teresa Public Library Community room
Time: 6:30pm-8:00pm
Agenda:

Attend the Meeting on 10/17 Monday at 6:30pm-8:00pm at the SouthSide Community Center, 5585 Cottle Rd, San Jose, CA, regarding the development of the warehouse project in Coyote Valley along Blanchard Rd and Old Monterey Road. This is your chance to learn about the issues and provide feedback to the City.
Meet and Hear the Candidates at this event sponsored by American Association of University Women, Morgan Hill Life, and Morgan Hill Times. While LPNA may not be directly concerned by Morgan Hill city politics, it is directly impacted by the MHUSD (Morgan Hill Unified School District) to which the schools in our neighborhood belong.

With the recent fire outbreak in the Santa Cruz mountains near Loma Prieta, this topic strikes really close to home, literally and figuratively. Do you wonder…

Whether that emergency be a fire, a flood, an earthquake, or other type of disaster, you should think about building a go bag that includes minimally the following:
It always takes a disaster to remind us, we cannot and should not procrastinate when it comes to disaster preparedness! We need to prepare for these eventualities!
On October 8, the city will hold an Expo at the Los Paseos Elementary All Purpose Meeting room from 10:30am-1:00pm.
(Yes it conflicts with Park Clean Up Day, so I would encourage you to attend both events since they are beside one another!!!!)
Come meet the budget delegates driving projects to help improve your neighborhoods. Learn what each project has to offer so you as a voter can make an informed decision as to how to best spend the $1M dollars available from the Calpine grant settlement. Learn more about the process via the City of San Jose web page dedicated to this process:

Here you can register to vote electronically if you are unable attend in person.
You can also learn more about the projects at ourmillion.org
Better yet, get involved and let your neighbors know about this process and get them to vote on projects they believe will benefit and improve the entire community.
Come join your neighbors to help clean up and maintain Los Paseos Park, a resource enjoyed by all within the community.
