The reason politicians try so hard to get reelected is that they would “hate” to have to make a living under the laws they have just passed.
Jackie Wyckoff completed her CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) Training in 2013 and immediately took over as the “Leader” for the San Tomas West Neighborhood whose boundaries are San Tomas Expressway to San Tomas Aquino Road and Payne Avenue to Campbell Avenue. The neighborhood has approximately 1000 homes in Campbell and 1000 homes in San Jose and is one of the largest official neighborhood associations in Campbell and Santa Clara County. Shortly after joining the leadership group, Wyckoff recommended that Campbell CERT become a tax exempt organization and spearheaded the transition. Having served on boards of directors in the nonprofit sector for nearly 40 years, she was uniquely positioned to head the task force. She completed the necessary forms, created the articles of incorporation and wrote the organization bylaws. Campbell CERT attained 501(c)3 status in Sept. 2015 and Wyckoff was elected to serve as secretary on the board of directors.

My neighbor was working in his yard when he was startled by a late model car that came crashing through his hedge and ended up in his front lawn. He rushed to help an elderly lady driver out of the car and sat her down on a lawn chair. He said with excitement, “You appear quite elderly to be driving.” “Well, yes, I am,” she replied proudly. “I’ll be 97 next month, and I am now old enough that I don’t even need a driver’s license anymore.” “You don’t need a driver’s license anymore?!?” That’s right! The last time I went to my doctor, he checked my eyesight and asked if I had a driver’s license. I told him ‘yes’ and handed it to him. He took scissors out of the drawer, cut the license into pieces, and threw them in the waste basket, saying, ‘You won’t need this anymore’. So I thanked him and left!”

Our resourceful treasurer, Rick Loeck, has arranged a Fund Raiser after the meeting at Rock Bottom Brewery, not just at lunchtime but all day except for Happy Hour! If you need more coupons for friends, family, neighbors, or another group, call me at 408- 379-4809 after July 12. I will be out of town before that. I have five coupons on a page. Hey guys, it’s a brewery with lots of booze choices! Hope to see lots of you there! Please carefully read the Southwest Experience article on page 3. It sounds like a great trip. Email members will be getting the brochure with this Dispatch, and for hard copy members if you want a brochure before the meeting, just call me with the timetable above.

Jan Delucchi is now at home and continues to improve her physical strength. However, she is still unable to return to the Treasure Chest. So please save your items until at least next month when hopefully she will be returning. Then we hope you will bring and buy lots of items to make up for the loss of income. She also still needs to buy a car. You may send cards to her at 2170 Weston Drive, San Jose 95050, phone 408-379-7587.
