PETCO-GILROY AND PETSMART-MILPITAS ADOPTION CENTERS - Our two permanent adoption centers are temporary homes for our little waifs as they await their forever homes.  We need to staff each with reliable and dedicated volunteers so we know the kitties are well taken care of every day, so we hope you will decide to volunteer there caring for our kitties.  If you can donate a few hours a week, we'd love to have your help.  Please contact Linda Cunningham at [email protected] if you'd like to help at Petco-Gilroy, or Paula Myers at [email protected] you'd like to help at PetsMart-Milpitas.  It's the best and happiest volunteer job you'll ever have, and is one way to love kitties without the full responsibility of actual pet ownership, help kitties without adding to your own household kitty headcount, or fill your kitty void from having an allergic family member!

The Delta is a critical component of our water system. Here in the Silicon Valley, 40 percent of our water supply passes through the Delta. Our imported water comes from the Sierra Nevada snowmelt and rainfall that fills rivers and streams that flow toward the San Francisco Bay. Much of that mountain water flows through the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta to communities throughout the Bay Area.

This is the year. No New Year's resolutions that fade in mid-January and disappear by February. Instead, make a bold commitment and accept a challenge to join me on a climb to the top of Yosemite's Mt. Hoffman on July 11, 2015.
