Dear District 1,
It's officially Fall! Within the next few weeks and months, we'll be enjoying cooler weather, beautiful fall colors, and the cozy feelings of the new season. What I love about Fall is the sense of community and togetherness it offers, as well as the beauty of change.
As we continue to embrace this time of transition, I invite you to explore this newsletter to learn about events in our district, updates, and more!
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,
David G. Haubert
Alameda County Supervisor
