Dear District 1,
September is in full swing, and with it comes the energy and momentum of a new season. Students are diving into their studies, community events are picking up, and fall is beginning to color our neighborhoods.
This time of year can be both exciting and busy — from after-school activities to local gatherings — and it’s inspiring to see the many ways our community comes together to support one another.
In this newsletter, you’ll find important updates, upcoming opportunities to get involved, and resources to help you make the most of the season ahead.
As always, if there is anything my office can do to assist you regarding County-specific matters, please don’t hesitate to reach out at bosdist1@acgov.org.
Sincerely,
David G. Haubert
Alameda County Supervisor
District 1

Foster Family Support & Prospective Parent Town Hall
 Join us at our next Foster Family Support & Resource Parent Recruitment Town Hall on October 1st at 5:30 PM in Fremont.
Hear powerful stories from current Resource Parents (formerly Foster Parents) and gain insight into what it’s like to care for children in the foster care system.
If you feel called to offer love, safety, and guidance to a child in need, this is a meaningful opportunity to learn about the need for wonderful Resource Parents and how to become one. Get your questions answered and leave with a clear understanding of the next steps in becoming a Resource Parent—whether through Alameda County or a Foster Family Agency.
