Thanks to Linda and Sarah Brennan for decorating our tree this year!
Huge thanks to everyone who participated this year. We sold over 85 trees to 71 neighbors, the highest since 2014!

Hey Cory Neighbors, we received a notice from the City of San Jose Planning Department about the 826 N Winchester project. They will be hosting a public meeting to receive community input, describe the project, and share how the process works.
This meeting will be on December 16th at 6pm.
The zoom link is https://sanjoseca.zoom.us/j/97603317122
More details are available at the San Jose Planning site: https://www.sanjoseca.gov/Home/Components/Calendar/Event/7264/5235
The full contents of the email we received is below:
This is a notice for a Community, General Plan Amendment, and Environmental Impact Report Scoping Meeting for the 826 North Winchester project (File Nos. GP23-011, C24-062, H24-052, ER24-147) on Zoom on December 16 at 6:00 pm. The Zoom link will be https://sanjoseca.zoom.us/j/97603317122, and the City’s meeting landing page (including postcard and agenda) is at https://www.sanjoseca.gov/Home/Components/Calendar/Event/7264/5235. If needed, you can call into the meeting at 408-638-0968 or 888-475-4499 and enter the Meeting ID, 976 0331 7122.
This date is being driven by requirements to hold a meeting during the circulation of the Notice of Preparation, which is expected to start next week. Public comment will be accepted for at least 30 days after posting, but the City is considering an additional week or so to submit comment due to the holidays.
You are receiving this e-mail because you are on the Interested Parties list for this project. If you live within 1,000 feet of the project site, you will also be receiving a postcard notice in the mail. Please feel free to inform your neighbors about this meeting, and you or they can contact me if you have any questions about this.

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.
Just like your local retail stores, it’s already time to start talking about Christmas! The Christmas Tree forms are being included this week in your Cory Neighborhood Flyer.
I’m happy to say that the price is staying the same, $35 a tree, $10 for rebar, and $5 for delivery (inside Cory Neighborhood).
Last year we brought 80 trees to brighten the Cory Neighborhood, let’s see if we can spread more Christmas joy this year!
Attached is the form if you need another copy and there will be extra available at the General Meeting on October 28th. Make sure to get your form in before Thanksgiving as the price raises to $40.
If you have any questions (or would prefer to use digital payments), please feel free to reach out using the “Contact” button on our website.
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.
