We have a very active service club scene that I can hardly keep up with.

We also have a Community Emergency Response Team, known as “CERT,” and Disaster Aid Response Team, or “DART.”

We will be featuring these organizations in upcoming issues.

COOL V-DAY IDEA

From Leslie Patron, content marketing manager for Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District:

“Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to mean crowded restaurants, pricey bouquets, or heart-shaped trinkets that just gather dust. What if, instead, it was all about the simple joys of quality time—whether that’s with a partner, a friend or just yourself?

“The Bay Area’s parks and preserves are the perfect backdrop for a meaningful connection and a much-needed change of pace.”
