- Toys for Tots flyer and details submitted for advertising on social media and The Post with a save the date. Additional details beyond the save the date are on a 2nd flyer that Nancy Calvin made up and will be included in the November mid-month blast. The D’Angelo’s ran into a little snag with this year’s planning as Santa Cruz County isn’t accepting on-site donations for toys due to covid restrictions. Santa Clara County is allowing donation sites so the toys will be delivered to Silicon Valley Moving and Storage like last year.
- Jacob’s Heart Tour. . . Kathy will be reporting on this during the Board Meeting, Saturday 23rd October 9 very generous cars joined in giving over $3,000, Kathy Musser reported.
