Greetings,
This Fall we reflect on the importance of community and remembrance. The wildfires in Northern California that impacted so many remind us that California has been in a prolonged drought and we must be vigilant in protecting against fires, especially in our hill and rural wildland areas. It also reminds us of how we pull together as a community to support those in need. We see the strength and resilience in our community through the efforts of our firefighters and volunteers who put their lives on the line to contain the fires. Please join Alameda County in supporting those in need this Fall by contributing to the Disaster Relief Fund http://acgov.org/government/news/disaster.htm. All contributions to the Disaster Relief Fund will benefit those affected by the Northern California Wildfires.
The Fall is also a time that we honor our veterans who serve to protect and uphold the ideals of our nation. Join District 2 in honoring local veterans this Saturday, November 11, 2017 at Veterans Memorial Park located at 4525 Dyer Street, Union City from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. A new Veterans Memorial Monument will be dedicated. We will be joined by service members from Camp Parks Reserve Force Training Area, Congressmember Eric Swalwell, Major General Garrett Yee, and Alameda County Firefighters Local 55 who will provide a BBQ lunch afterwards. Thank you to the City of Union City, Bras &
Mattos Monument Co, Manny Fernandez and all the veterans who came together to
make this happen.

 This month’s spotlight we highlight the participants, volunteers and agencies that helped make this year's Niles Canyon Stroll and Roll a success.
On September 30th, District 1 and 2 coordinated the 2nd Niles Canyon Stroll and Roll in an effort to highlight the Niles Canyon Corridor Multi Use Trail initiative that will create a Class 1 trail separate from but alongside Highway 84. This unique event closed Highway 84 to automobiles and allowed pedestrians and bicyclists to travel through the canyon safely. The event brought an estimated 10,000 to 15,000 people to stroll or roll through the 6.4 mile stretch between Old Canyon Road in Fremont and Main Street in Sunol. District 2 would like to thank all the agencies who provided their time and effort to make this event a success. We sincerely thank the staff and volunteers from the following organizations:
- Alameda County Bike Mobile
- Alameda County Fire Department
- Alameda County General Services Agency
- Alameda County Public Works Agency
- Alameda County Sheriff’s Office
- Alameda County Water District
