Sat, Dec 14, 2024, 10:30 AM PSTMeet and Greet Walk and Lunch
Blackford Elementary School, San Jose, CA
This a reoccurring event on the second Saturday of the month. We will meet at Blackford Elementary School and walk along the Los Gatos Creek to Mendocino Farms in Pruneyard.

Be careful, you access Blackford Elementary School's parking lot off Willow Street and Meridian. The school is shown off Leigh, but you can't access the parking lot from there. If you are traveling from 280, take Meridian to Willow St and turn Right (away from downtown WG). Willow St dead ends at Blackford Elementary. Once you enter the parking lot, there is an entrance to the trail to the right. We will meet there. My car is dark red (maroon) and I will keep the back open until we leave at 10:35.

The paved path is easy with a few ups and downs mostly as we go under overpasses. I'm not in good shape and I can do it. Then we head back to our cars.

The walk takes me about 45 mins each way. Plus the time for lunch should take us about 2.5 hours.

Wed, Dec 18, 2024, 4:00 PM PSTHoliday Cookie Exchange & Festive Walk Through Willow Glen & Food Collection
Needs location
Join us for a delightful holiday gathering! We’ll kick things off with a cozy cookie exchange, where you can share your favorite holiday treats and swap recipes. Please bring 3 dozen of homemade cookies (or your favorite store-bought kind) to share with others! I love to see how our diverse cultures and religions celebrate this time of the year!!!

After enjoying some sweet treats and warm conversation, we'll bundle up and head out for a scenic walk through the charming Willow Glen neighborhood to admire the beautiful holiday decorations and lights. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the season with friends and spread some holiday cheer!

Please bring the recipe so those with allergies can check the ingredients. I will scan the recipes and post as photos. Please also bring a flashlight. Also, please bring 2 canned food items. Soups, stews, chili, peanut butter, etc. are always needed items for the food pantries. I will bring the items to Second Harvest.

This event will happen rain or shine. If it does rain, I recommend a raincoat and hiking boots, I don't recommend an umbrella. I'm doing this a little earlier than previous years. My plans are to head out to Bramhall Park at 5pm. The sun sets at 4:52 so it should be dark, but hopefully, we will be earlier than the crowds. The cookie exchange will be at my house and I'll send out the address a week before.
