WOMEN, INFANTS AND CHILDREN STORY

Heartfelt thanks to you and your team for the lovely article in this past week’s Good Times about WIC, our Health Fair and WIC’s 50th anniversary. It was the nicest article I have seen written about our program. I so appreciate your time, support and advocacy for our program.

The Health Fair was a great success … we had over 25 partner tables and @200 participants.  Supervisor Hernandez was there as well as Dr. Cal Gordon from the County.

Thank you again for the promotion and for telling our story. I am ever grateful to you.

HOMELESS PROBLEMS

In response to the letter advocating for a campground for the unhoused in Sycamore Grove: that experiment has already been tried and it failed miserably. Do we not recall San Lorenzo Park’s lawless, dystopian encampment and the subsequent despoiling of the park and river? SLP also had hygiene stations, access to showers, social services, and places to dump trash, yet camp SLP was still a no-go zone for the public, complete with assaults, tent fires and general mayhem. Plus, let us not forget that after the camp was cleared the City hauled away tons and tons of refuse, with nary a former “resident” being willing to help with restoration. Do we want to go down that road again?

RE: GREG KIHN

I’m heartbroken to hear about his passing but so glad that I had the opportunity to see him perform at the Boardwalk.

My heart is crying. I was a Kihn follower. I went to 15 concerts from free Friday nights at Santa Cruz concerts Beach Boardwalk to San Jose to the Catalyst.

Sad News. I remember going to concerts in Santa Cruz. Always a great vibe.
