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.

National Night Out Success!

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.

  • San Jose Fire Department: We were thrilled to have the San Jose Fire Department join us with a fire engine, giving everyone the chance to learn more about fire safety and explore the equipment up close.
  • District 4 Supervisor Susan Ellenberg’s Office: Representatives from Susan Ellenberg’s Office attended and engaged with local residents, bringing along some useful safety swag to help keep our community informed and prepared.
  • Michael Mulcahy: We were also visited by Michael Mulcahy, a candidate for the District 6 City Council. He took the time to meet with folks and talk about our neighborhood.
  • Kona Ice: Our free Kona Ice was a huge hit, with everyone enjoying a refreshing treat on a warm evening.

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!
