Last night I went to the Sunnyvale Neighborhood associations 2008 Quarterly meeting. Here is the summery.

About 20 members showed up. Nathan Truitt, the community Outreach Coordinator, was in charge.
1. Deborah Barrow talked about the plans for the new Sunnyvale library and the suggestions to have a branch library (that will cost
about a $1M per year) he new building will be built next to the existing one. it was simpler to build a new construction rather than improving the old one.
2. Parking in Down town Sunnyvale. It’s harder to find parking these days, even around the train station. Police is giving tickets, we are
becoming like a regular City. Soon we’ll have a busy downtown and urn more gas looking for parking. John Pilger, the Communication
Officer,talked about August 5 National Night out event. As a part of the crime prevention plan, get out and know your neighbors, see fire
fighters, police cars, know the neighborhood supervisors.
3. Nathan Truitt talked about June 21st event. A four hour event in Plaza del sol, down town near The farmer’s market. Cultural themes,
performances, fun and food. There will be parking area underneath Plaza del sol. There will be 21 booths for organizations but no commercial activities. We recommended to have a booth for Sunnyvale residents who want to enquire about neighborhood organizations and join them.
If anyone wants to organize a Block party you need to give at least 30 days notice to Patricia Lord, the community recourse event lanner.
4. Neighborhood Grant program, up to $1000 per project. You have to apply soon.

If you want to eat out and contribute to the city of Sunnyvale, Tuesday June 3rd at Armadillo Willy’s. They will donate 20% of your purchase to Support the community services. 161E El Camino.
