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.

Our next General Meeting is coming up soon (Mon, July 27 – 6:30pm) and Santana Row (Federal Realty) is once again hosting our food, but also speaking at our event. This is your opportunity to provide questions or topics you would like to hear about. Here are some of the things we are asking them to talk about:

  1. Please share parking strategy, challenges, and areas of improvement. Please include discussion on holiday circulation, and any statistics you may have (how many visits over the holiday, any changes you may make going forward, lessons learned, etc.).
  2. What are some major projects planned for the next 12-24 months, including expansions (i.e. new health club)?
  3. Are there planned road improvements? Please briefly touch on the off-ramp impact and timeline if you can.
  4. There were a couple safety issues of the past year. Can you comment on that and how things have changed because of that?
  5. What events are planned for the rest of the year?
  6. Which new businesses or restaurants are expected to open?
  7. What are some new businesses/eateries that opened (I.e. donut shop, gelato place)
  8. How does Santana Row decide which new businesses/restaurants to bring in?

You can submit your questions / topics here: https://forms.gle/7RP3ynmhfC35bfDp9

We may not be able to get to all of the questions, but we will try.

Thank and see you in a couple weeks!
