Show Your Cards on November 13th!

Posted on by
Each year, RSCA 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 this 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.

Shores History Collection

Posted on by

Redwood Shores Community Association (RSCA) has served Shores residents, businesses and visitors for over 50 years.  As our anniversary approaches, we are building a database of historical information to celebrate the uniqueness of our community.

Add Your Story to the History Archive

RSCA invites residents to upload historical details and photos about their HOA or memories from years spent living, working or visiting Redwood Shores:

(We may feature these in future editions of The PILOT.)

Take the Redwood Shores Historic Walk

To help you learn more about Redwood Shores’ past and present, RSCA created a Historic Walk that takes you to various scenic and historic spots in the neighborhood. This self-guided two-mile walk is accessible by foot or bicycle. (The route can also be driven, although many spots do not have available parking.)

You can log into the Redwood Shores Historic Walk link for Google Maps on your phone and take the tour with your mobile device. This digital, guided map will take you through each of the nine spots marked as relevant to the history of the Shores. At each point, you will find a short history lesson as well as archival photos which help tell of how Redwood Shores developed. There are also a few “Bonus Views” of spots to explore if you’re feeling like stretching your legs even further.

On select weekends of the year, you can also look for signboards marking these points of interest for Redwood Shores. Nine signboards in total mark the various points on Bridge Parkway, Marine Parkway, Marlin Park, Davit Lane, and Shell Parkway. 

Printed copies of the Redwood Shores Historic Walk are often available at the Redwood Shores Branch Library.

Thank you for your participation and support!

This winter, Redwood Shores Community Association (RSCA) invited Shores residents to tell us about their family traditions, festivities, and decorations.  While our community is understandably preoccupied with new routines caused by the pandemic, we were happy to see so many residents participate in our annual Light Up The Shores tradition that brings joy to neighbors. Here is a slideshow made from the photos that were submitted.
A gift will be sent to the RSCA Members who submitted an entry.  We thank everyone who puts in an effort to beautify our community.

Scouting for Food: November 21st, 2020 9am – 12pm

Posted on by

This year, more than any other time in recent memory, our community needs your help feeding deserving families. Food banks are reporting significant shortages and outsized demand.

The Boy Scouts of America are here to help and will be gathering donations throughout Redwood Shores on Saturday, November 21, from 9am to 12pm.

For your safety and convenience, we will be providing contactless pickup and drop off options for your donations. Simply leave your non-perishable food donations in bags in a clearly visible location outside your house by 9am on Saturday, November 21 or drop off by 12pm to the Scouts at Marlin Park.

We accept any unexpired non-perishable food items such as canned goods, pasta and rice. We cannot accept expired food, baked goods, refrigerated items or items in damaged packages.

Last year, we collected and donated almost one ton of non-perishable food items to local food banks. This year, we need your help to do even better for our Redwood Shores community!
