Calling all AARP members who attended school–yes, that means all of you. Please donate school necessities and/or cash to the Sacred Heart Backpack Drive and brighten the day for deserving youngsters. Besides the normal school items, there is a special need for NEW backpacks (no red or blue!), scientific calculators, safety scissors, USB flash drives, hand sanitizer, tissues, and $20 shoe gift certificates. Check with the store manager and tell him why you are buying school items and he/she may give you a teacher’s discount! Items must be collected this month. Brownie points for those who buy lemonade from a kid’s lemonade stand–it’s all about passing on a good feeling to our fellow citizens no matter their age. Mind-blowing facts to follow next month on our super-duper volunteer David More! Happy summer!

Basim Jaber is a lifelong South Bay native and freelance photographer who has researched the history and geography of Mt. Umunhum and the Almaden Air Force Station since 2006.  He continues to archive historic images and artifacts from Almaden Air Force Station. You’ll be amazed at the size of the AF base in its prime. Marlene and Angie saw his presentation at H2U and found it very interesting. We are sure you will also.
