Upcoming Events

National Night Out – A nationwide event held on Tuesday, August 4,
to mingle with the police and firemen of San Jose. It starts at 6:30
PM in the school parking lot. Food, drinks and games for all.

Dumpster Day – We are planning a dumpster day in October. Usually
it’s the third or fourth Saturday of the month. Once we get it nailed
down, the association will let you know.

Holiday Showcase Judges – Would you like to be a judge for our
decoration contest in December? Contact us on our website and
we’ll email you all the specifics. There’s two areas that are judged:
best decorated house and best decorated tree. It’s that easy. We are
also looking for a photographer, if you would rather do that.

Christmas Trees Fundraiser – As you probably know, the
Association buys Christmas trees at a volume discount so that you
can get a great tree at a low price. The order form will come out at the
next general meeting. The best thing about it is that you can buy
more than one tree. Also, we are always looking for people who have
a truck and would like to volunteer to deliver trees.

Next General Meeting – Our next general meeting will be on
Monday, October 26th, starting at 6:30 PM, (doors open at 6 PM).
You’ll get a flyer a week or two before the meeting.
