Thanks everybody for coming out to the 2013 Halloween Walk. We’ll see you again next year!
Bring your kids in their Halloween costumes to Marlin Park on Saturday October 26th, 2013 @ 1:00 PM sharp for a spooky good time in the park.
We will have treats for the kids, so please bring a goodie bag or bucket. And PARENTS, don’t forget the camera for photo opportunities with the Good Witch!
Our local RWC Police will also be available to provide voluntary FINGERPRINTING for children of parents who might wish to have this
record for identification. Because a child’s appearance can change in a short time, fingerprinting can be the best way to identify a lost child.
RSCA holds this event each year for Shores children elementary school age and under.

Hosted on Monday, September 23, 2013, this public forum was held by RSCA and the Belmont-Redwood Shores PTA in order to allow the community to get to know the candidates running for BRS School Board positions this November.
RSCA has posted a video of the event for residents who were not able to attend as well as those who were in attendance and would like a second look at this year’s seven candidates. The forum video runs through the opening statements and all questions asked to the candidates; due to technical difficulties, certain candidates’ closing statements were not available for this video and so all closing statements have been omitted from this posting to be fair to all the participants.
All candidates on the ballot were able to participate in this event. Candidates were seated according to randomized numbers; the names of those candidates are listed in the same order below (from left to right) to help you identify who is speaking throughout the presentation.
Our moderator for the evening was Jim Hartnett a former mayor and city council member of Redwood City.
Thank you to all of the candidates for attending, thank you Mr. Hartnett for moderating the panel, and thank you for your interest in this important Belmont & Redwood Shores event.
The Redwood Shores Community Association together with the Belmont Redwood Shores PTA council are sponsoring a public forum with the prospective school board candidates that are up for election in November.

To benefit the environment, RSCA helps beautify the nearly seven miles of levee surrounding the Shores. Residents and admirers of our beautiful Shores are all invited to join us in this very worthy annual event to help keep this neighborhood and wetland area clean.

The Shores Levee Cleanup is a fun community event. As you know from your experience last year, volunteers are assembled into teams and assigned cleanup areas. Kids and parents, adults and seniors are all welcome and encouraged to get involved in this worthwhile event. Family work groups handle their areas at their own pace; all help to keep these bountiful nature trails debris-free.
This is a great opportunity for Redwood City residents (and their friends) to enjoy a beautiful summer morning while experiencing a variety of birds and other wildlife. Volunteer and enjoy the splendor of our seven miles of shoreline, including incredible views of the bay.
We hope you will join us again this year; please bring gloves and wear good walking shoes… all pickup tools and trash bags will be provided. Take pride in enhancing this important Redwood City resource, and join us Saturday, August 24, 8am to noon.

Each year large amounts of trash are picked from the Redwood Shores Levee environment by our volunteers and removed by Recology Systems free of charge. Every piece of trash that is eliminated is important!

OUR SUMMER CONCERTS HAS CLOSED FOR THE SEASON — THANKS FOR COMING OUT!
Sundays this Summer, Marlin Park is the place to rock! Join us for the Redwood Shores summer concert series.
RSCA has moved the Sounds of the Shores summer concert series this year to Sunday afternoons, 5-7pm, in Marlin Park, starting June 23rd. We expect more people to be able to join us on Sundays, and the earlier time should help avoid the early evening chill that can cool things off as the sun goes down.
