The Lexington Home and School Club is thrilled to welcome everyone to the Lexington Community Open House Celebration. They are planning the event to be held some time on the weekend of September 5–7. It’s going to be a great opportunity for the mountain community to come together to celebrate your hard work and see the new school in person!  Please check the Home and School Club website soon for details, including the exact date and time.

On Saturday, April 5, 2014 from 8–11:00 a.m. at the Pavilion at Redwood Estates, free compost is offered to the residents of Lexington Hills who received a giveaway card in the mail from GreenWaste. Bring the card along as proof of residency. Limit 2 bags per customer while supplies last. The compost is made from the organic materials recovered from the yard trimmings material collected from our community.

The annual meeting of the members will be held on March 23, 2014, from 2:00 to 5:00 pm at the Pavilion at Redwood Estates. Two directors’ positions will need to be filled for the upcoming year, so if you would like to run for a position on the Board, please return the Call for Candidates form to the RESA office.

Join us on Tuesday, August 6, from 6:00–9:00 p.m. and meet the local law enforcement groups that keep our community safe. Invited groups include:

• Santa Clara and Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Departments
• CHP
• Cal Fire
• Central Fire (Santa Clara County)
• Loma Prieta Volunteer Fire and Rescue

Also participating are volunteer groups such as:

• Loma Prieta Amateur Radio Club
• Mountain Emergency Response Corps / American Red Cross
• Summit CERT
• Operation Care & Comfort

Participating groups provide a wide range of public safety information. The sheriff’s departments bring specialty equipment and personnel. In past years, there have been SWAT teams, bomb-detecting equipment, search and rescue dogs, and fingerprinting for children. In addition to fire truck tours, the fire departments will offer information on home and wildland fire safety. Find out what the local amateur radio club, CERT, and the Mountain Emergency Response Corps do in a major disaster. Many of the groups provide special activities for children.

Nonno’s will serve a barbecue dinner for the low price of $5.00. Veggie burgers will be available. Purchase dinner tickets at the event, or get them in advance at Nonno’s or the RESA office (check office hours here).
