Supervisor David Haubert, 6/2/23 Newsletter

Greetings from Supervisor Haubert

Dear Friends,

As we enter Pride Month, I want to reaffirm my dedication to protecting the LGBTQIA+ community from discrimination and marginalization. At the County, equity remains a paramount focus, and I implore our communities to embrace the same commitment. Pride Month also serves as a reminder to honor the diverse experiences and contributions of the LGBTQIA+ community. Together, let us champion fairness, equality, and compassion for all.

We invite you to read this newsletter and stay connected with the latest updates, as your engagement is greatly appreciated. As always, if there is anything that my office can do to assist you regarding County-specific matters, please feel free to reach out at bosdist1@acgov.org. 

Sincerely,

Supervisor David Haubert
Alameda County Supervisor, Vice President
First District

Livermore Rodeo Parade

Join me and my staff as we celebrate the vibrant Livermore Rodeo Parade on June 10! Hosted by the Livermore Rodeo and taking place in Downtown Livermore at 10 AM, this annual event brings together local organizations, schools, businesses, and residents to keep the heritage of the Livermore Rodeo alive for generations to come. 

Living Arroyos Clean Up

We extend our deepest gratitude to Living Arroyos, Livermore Mayor John Marchand, and the incredible members of our community who generously volunteered their time to clean litter from the Arroyo Mocho stream. Your dedication and efforts have made a significant impact on our water quality and environmental health.

By removing litter from the stream, we are actively working to preserve the delicate balance of our ecosystem. Not only does this help maintain the cleanliness and beauty of our surroundings, but it also safeguards the health of our local wildlife and plants.

Your commitment to environmental stewardship sets an inspiring example for others to follow. Together, we are creating a cleaner and healthier environment for present and future generations to enjoy.

We are delighted to share an inspiring story of community collaboration and compassion.

Our District 1 office recently awarded a $55,000 American Rescue Plan Act Grant to Cornerstone Church for actively working to assist unhoused individuals by bringing together multiple organizations every Friday morning from 9-11 AM! In addition to receiving one-on-one consultation with dedicated organizations to obtain crucial support and services, individuals are given a hot breakfast, shower, and clothing.

On the 2nd and 4th Friday, Axis Community Health and CRIL (Community Resources for Independent Living) provide valuable support and resources to unhoused individuals.

On the 4th Friday of every month, Your Taco Guy graciously caters the event, showing their generosity and commitment to giving back to the community. Great Clips also visits every two months to offer haircuts and grooming services. Their next visit is scheduled for June 9th, providing individuals with a fresh look and a boost of confidence. 

As the weather improves, Cornerstone Church hopes to accommodate even more organizations and expand the range of services available to unhoused individuals. This incredible collaboration reflects the power of community partnerships and the profound impact we can have when we come together to support those in need.

California Classified School Employee of the Year

We are thrilled to announce that one of our outstanding high school paraprofessionals, Carmen Perea-Tellez, has been awarded the prestigious California Classified School Employee of the Year! This well-deserved recognition is a testament to Carmen's exceptional dedication and commitment to supporting students at Livermore High School.

As a bilingual instructional aide and English learner coordinator, Carmen goes above and beyond in her role. In addition to her full-time duties, she generously volunteers her time by providing tutoring sessions to English learner students twice a week after school. Her dedication extends beyond the classroom as she maintains regular contact with EL students and their families, ensuring their needs are met, and fostering a supportive learning environment.

Remarkably, Carmen also manages to balance her role as a paraprofessional while pursuing a full-time college education. Her ambitious goal of becoming a school counselor reflects her unwavering passion for supporting students' social-emotional well-being and academic success.

We extend our warmest congratulations to Carmen on receiving this esteemed award. Her remarkable work ethic, compassionate nature, and commitment to student achievement make her an inspiration to our entire school community.
