AUTUMN MOON FESTIVAL NIGHT MARKET! |
|
During the Autumn Moon Festival (Tết Trung Thu), we celebrate our children and look forward toward a time of prosperity and community. Historically, we would be tending the harvest and sharing with our neighbors, but given few of us have crops to tend, I invite all of you to join me in taking a moment to appreciate how fortunate some of us are.
I'd like to reflect on charity and compassion for those less fortunate. We need to teach our children these lessons so that they can carry them forward and build on what we do. If we are to leave a legacy to them, let it be one of kindness and let us instill in them a willingness to help others.
|
|
Join us as we celebrate this special time. There will be local DJs, and performances, as well as Asian-owned businesses' merch and craft vendors, food trucks, and a beer garden!
Address: 1590 Berryessa Road, San José CA
I hope to see you there.
Sincerely,
|

We’ve been in extreme drought before, and likely will continue to be however we’ve learned through experience how to reduce or consumption indoor and outdoors, as a reminder:
- Reuse water wherever possible for non-potable use. (Bucket in the shower, water the garden or flush the toilet)
- If you have a dishwasher, let it do the work of cleaning a full load and avoid extended periods of leaving the faucet running while cleaning.
- Check for leaks in the kitchen, bathroom and outside in the yard.
- Don’t wash your car at home, go to a car wash that uses recycled water system.
- Avoid irrigating your landscaping during daylight hours, especially between the hours of 10:00 A.M.-3:00 P.M.

Mayor Liccardo announced the expansion of San José Bridge, a program that hires unhoused residents to clean and beautify San José, providing participants with services, wages, and a path to self-sufficiency. The expansion, which will nearly double the current program, will employ 100 participants and dramatically increase the collection services of existing and new locations for two years.
The program combines employment with housing support by leveraging the City’s emergency interim housing.
Participants in the expanded program will be paid $23.31 per hour if health benefits are offered or $24.56 per hour if health benefits are not offered.
