City’s Annual Clean-up Campaign is Set For May As your Mayor, I am fortunate to be able to spend time out in the community with our residents. And regardless of what neighborhood I’m in or what street I may be on, residents frequently remind me how much they look forward to our City’s Annual Clean-up Campaign . It’s not too early to be thinking about this year’s Clean-Up Campaign which takes place in May. It’s another opportunity to go through the closets, garage or shed, and get rid of unnecessary items. And it’s also a great way to have some of those items recycled back in the community for those in need. Please refer to the City schedule as to what items, and when, you are permitted to place them in front of your property. There are rules in place (dos and don’ts) so please carefully review the City’s “set-out” instructions available at SantaClaraCA. gov/Cleanup, or call (408) 615-3080. April Is Earth Month … a Time to Celebrate and Educate April is Earth Month, a time to celebrate our planet while also increasing awareness on the importance of protecting the environment for future generations. Please join me at our Earth Day-Arbor Day Celebration in the Pavilion at Central Park on Thursday, April 27 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Bring the family and enjoy the activities and learn all you can about creating a sustainable lifestyle, and innovative ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle. As you may know, Santa Clara is a proud part of the Tree City USA program which was founded in 1976 and sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation. The program encourages tree planting and tree cover for a greener and healthier America. At our upcoming Earth Day-Arbor Day event, Santa Clara will receive its Tree City USA recognition for the 36th time. Another reason to attend the event is to celebrate Santa Clara’s commitment to beautification and conservation. Triton Museum’s Tequila Tasting Fundraiser Was a Huge Success Santa Clara’s Triton Museum of Art recently held its annual Tequila Tasting event and it was a phenomenal success. Several vendors poured samples of their premier tequilas while providing insight on each offering. The amazing art, the scrumptious food, and well-themed table curations added to the evenings festive spirit. Funds raised through the event directly benefit the Triton Museum. I would like to express appreciation to the event founders and organizers, the Triton Museum Board and staff, community volunteers and sponsors. I look forward to the event returning in 2024. If you haven’t been to the Triton Museum recently, please put it on your “to do” list. You’re enjoy the various art exhibits while also learning about the talented artists behind the work.
