Final Preparations for the City Council Presentation
A report to the Council of the Committee’s activities was discussed. Roger Burnell is scheduled
to report at the November Council meeting. Barbara Waldeck will email him copies of the 2013
Picnic Report and the 2014 Proposed Picnic Budget. Since no report was made in 2013 Barbara
suggested that Roger include the Committee’s role in forming the Art in Public Places
Committee.
Suggestions for Special Events
Roger Burnell is working on a tour of the Stanford campus. He thinks that this would take place
n a Sunay afternoon and include a tour of three or four of the new buildings. Other suggestions
for events to encourage community relations were:
A trip to the San Francisco Symphony
Make better use of Foothill College
A talent show
Family Hikes in conjunction with the Pathways Committee and Parks and Rec that could include
a picnic
Tours of :Apple or Google or Facebook, Computer History Museum, Hillier Aviation Museum,
or Forty-niner Stadium
Organize parties by neighborhood
Bring back the Newcomers receptions
Bullis Charter’s 3-D printing
DeAnza Planetarium
Stanford athletic events
Fall/Winter Events
The Barn lighting and the Carol Sing are coming up in December. The CRC usually provides
refreshments for these events. Karen Emerzian reported that she brought wine to the History
Committee reception.
Initial Preparation for the 2015 Annual Picnic on June 7, 2015
So many compliments have been received about the food provided the last two years that we will
probably use Mavericks to cater the Picnic again this year. We need to reserve some
entertainment (we have had a magician for the last two years) and a band (the feeling seemed to
be that we should hire last year’s band again). We will have a Car Show, the petting zoo, the
dunk booth and the climbing wall again in addition to the usual attractions.
Completion of any Old Business:
As always, we need to recruit more members and need to be more diverse.
The next meeting is on November 11th. Barbara Waldeck said it is important to have a January
meeting to reappoint associate members of the Committee. This was never done last year.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:36 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,
Barbara Waldeck, Secretary
