Santa Visits the Shores

RSCA welcomes the one and only Santa to Redwood Shores on Sunday, December 15th!

Come greet Santa from 1-3PM at Sandpiper School.

Bring your cameras to capture magical moments of your children on Santa’s lap while sharing their requests. Mingle with your neighbors, hum along to holiday tunes, and talk with RSCA board members about current events while waiting your turn to see Santa.

Santa is a very busy man this time of year, so be sure to arrive early if you want to be sure to see him! 

Show Your Cards for Disaster Preparedness on November 16th!

Each year in November, RSCA promotes safety preparedness with the Emergency Preparedness Month. You can read this month’s issue of The PILOT for a number of tips and recommendations to ready your home and your family in case of a sudden disaster. 
 
As part of Emergency Preparedness Month, RSCA also provides all homes and businesses in Redwood Shores with a RED/GREEN Disaster Signal Card designed to help emergency responders quickly assess who needs immediate help and who is OK, in a disaster scenario, and for use in drills occasionally.  This year, it was printed in the center page of The PILOT, so you can tear it out and keep it (…and hopefully never need the red side). Please keep this card where you can locate it quickly. Also keep tape nearby so that you can quickly put it where it can be seen clearly from the street. This may be in a front window or on your front or garage door depending on the layout of your particular neighborhood. If you need assistance, this card will help get the quickest response. The card should not be displayed year-round.
 
“Show Your Cards” Drill on November 16th!
On Saturday, November 16th, RSCA and local volunteers will be running a drill to practice home checks of card use.

Community Conversation About Redwood LIFE Site

Development plans for the Redwood LIFE campus have been a topic of local discussion for some time now. Those who would like to know more about the proposed plans for the Redwood Life development are invited to community-led conversation, hosted by RSCA and led by members of our own Redwood Shores community. 
 
Neighbors and Locals Talk about Biolabs in Your Backyard:
Understanding the Redwood Life Project
Sunday, October 13 @ 12:30 PM
Redwood Shores Branch Library
 

Additionally, a community-led meeting will be held on the following Sunday, October 13th. This will provide a chance to follow up on topics which may have come into discussion during the tour. All residents are invited, regardless of attending the tour.

We also appreciate everybody who came out on Oct 6th (despite the incredible heat!) to attend our Neighborhood Tour & Talk event. The best way to understand the scope of this project has proven to be to visit the site first-hand. This guided trip gave attendees a detailed view of the campus as it is today, and highlighted areas where plans propose to expand or redevelop the property. We hope to host this event again, so please reach out if you are interested in a future opportunity to take this tour.

Neighborhood-Led Tour of Planned Redwood LIFE Site

Development plans for the Redwood LIFE campus have been a topic of local discussion for some time now. While many in the Shores have begun to form opinions of the project as a concept, it is difficult to have a clear picture of exactly what has been proposed just from pictures and conversations. The best way to understand the scope of this project is, we believe, to visit the site first-hand.  
 
Those who would like to know more about the proposed plans for the Redwood Life development are invited to a tour of the Redwood LIFE campus, hosted by RSCA and led by members of our own Redwood Shores community.
