Let's Go Caroling
Before the Walkabout

Carolers needed- In the spirit of sharing at the holidays…If you want to join in singing a few Christmas Carols for our Idlywood neighbors, please RSVP to Terry Sturtevant by Saturday December 10. We will meet at 3:45 p.m. at Idlywood and sing for them at 4p.m. It will be the classics…Jingle Bells, Frosty the Snowman, the Twelve Days of Christmas etc…the more carolers the merrier!

Holiday Walkabout — It's Here

Please join us for our third annual “Holiday Walkabout” on Sunday, December 11th from 4-6pm, an Italian-style ‘passegiata’ (walk) through Cherryhill Neighborhood to meet each other, spread some holiday cheer and enjoy festive outdoor decorations. Click here to view the event map.

Join a progressive evening stroll (meet at the first stop by 4pm) or make ad hoc visits to the host stations in the neighborhood. Either way, make your way to Crandano Court by 5:30pm so we may conclude the walk with a toast to everyone’s health and happiness in the coming year. This year we are featuring a special treat, festive caroling led by Terry Sturtevant: join us in serenading the residents of Idylwood Care Center!

Host stations will offer hot drinks and home-baked holiday goodies. Let’s make this event as green as possible by bringing our own reusable mugs and keeping the paper goods to a minimum. Hope to see you there!

Announcements

SNAP

The Sunnyvale SNAP (Sunnyvale Neighborhoods Actively Prepare) organization is making a special effort to organize all SNAP trained individuals throughout the city to better disseminate information and serve the community. SNAP has several projects in the works at differing stages that they plan to roll out. The first is a training program to teach people how to set up and organize SNAP in their own neighborhoods.

Robert Locke is the SNAP Liaison Officer to the Neighborhood Associations. He will be contacting Cherryhill Neighborhood Associaton to get us involved. Our neighborhood is within SNAP district 3 and SNAP will be concentrating their efforts in District 3 first. If you would like to become involved contact Kyle Welch or Wayne Amacher. We hope to designate a person as the Cherryhill Point of Contact (POC) soon.
