Huge thanks to the Dumpster Day Crew (left to right) – Art Maurice, Krystle Thai, Linda Brennan, Lilly Tamayo, Sarah Brennan, St. John Johnson, and Zachary Johnson. We welcomed 121 neighbors and almost filled all 6 dumpsters! Special thanks to Lilly and Krystle for providing yummy donuts to each car.
And of course, thanks to District 6’s Councilwoman, Dev Davis, for sponsoring this annual event!
Hey Neighbors! I’m St. John Johnson, a Cory resident, board member, and proud dad of two young kids.
Halloween is coming up in just a few weeks and it puts families like mine in a really tricky situation. My 8yo son has a severe anaphylactic allergy to nuts. This leads to mixed emotions about Halloween. Both excited about dressing up and going door-to-door, but anxious about people putting peanut butter candies into his basket and having to tell people that he can’t take their candy.
He’s not alone. 1 in 13 kids have a food allergy!
Thankfully the people at F.A.R.E. have been working for years on the Teal Pumpkin Project. It’s a simple concept, offer non-candy treats and put a teal pumpkin on your door so parents like me know it’s safe.
Target, CVS, etc offer all sorts of allergy-free trinkets and teal decorations. Some folks, like me, add signs like this to our front-yard.
The extra fun part is being able to be really creative with your goodies. For example, this year we’re giving out kinetic sand, glider airplanes, and fidgets.
So please, as you’re selecting your treats, consider allergy-friendly options and let parents and kids know by putting a teal pumpkin on your doorstep. You can also add your house to the Teal Pumpkin Map, help add some Teal to the Cory Neighborhood.
Thank you all in advance!
I’ll be giving out Teal Pumpkin buckets at the October 28th General Meeting.
Our sister neighborhood has invited all of us to the Rose Garden Homes Tour on October 19th and 20th! It’s an annual event where you can explore some fantastic homes, browse unique shops, and taste wine all while raising money for the students of St. Martin of Tours School.

We had a great turnout at Cory Neighborhood’s first National Night Out event, with about 35 neighbors joining us for refreshing snow cones and a chance to talk with local leaders! It was great to see so many familiar faces and meet some new ones, all coming together to strengthen our neighborhood ties.
Thank you to everyone who participated and made this National Night Out a memorable one. Your involvement is what makes our neighborhood such a wonderful place to live!
Hey Neighbors! We’re thrilled to invite you to join us for National Night Out, a special event dedicated to building community connections and promoting neighborhood safety. Mark your calendars for Tuesday, August 6th at 6:00pm and head on over to the CHC School Parking Lot (2280 Kenwood Avenue)!

On Monday, March 18th, Rep. Ro Khanna will be introducing the National Worker Cooperative Development and Support Act at A Slice of New York’s headquarters in Santa Clara/San Jose. This is a first-of-its-kind bill purely focused on worker cooperatives.
Worker cooperatives are not new, but unknown to many. Rep. Ro Khanna is recognizing and prioritizing the role worker cooperatives play in our country with a federal bill focused on them.
Please join the celebration.
Date: Monday, March 18, 2024
Time: 3:00pm
Location: A Slice of New York, 3443 Stevens Creek Blvd., San Jose, CA 95117
There will be snacks (yeah, pizza will be there)! Some of the local co-ops might bring some goodies to share. Either way, there will be some serious celebrating. A line-up of worker-owners, co-op professionals, local elected leaders, and of course Rep. Ro Khanna will speak about the bill and share real-world stories.
Park on the street or in the neighborhood on Tyler, Cecil, or Cypress. It is a short walk to the pizza shop. This is a landmark event that I hope you will be part of!
If you want to stay informed on the progress of this bill, please sign-up here.

Kirk Vartan is the General Manager/Founder of A Slice of New York as well as a member of the Cory Board.
