03 Oct. 2018 Dave Tucker West Valley Clean Water Program Authority Oct. 03, 2018 7:30 a.m. Dave will explain how the Clean Water Authority is similar to the Solid Waste Authority, how the City Council members participate, what they do, what citizens can watch for - and do to help. Their general direction is to talk about what "stormwater pollution" is - how water running off property and streets goes directly into our creeks, without any "cleaning" (treatment) and what we do to help prevent that pollution. Then they discuss what everyone can do to help - as home owners with yards/landscaping; as citizens reporting pollution; as people who buy 'to-go' coffee in paper cups which can end up as litter, etc. The West Valley Clean Water Program Authority wears many hats to keep us safe. They prevent pollution in our local (Los Gatos, Campbell, Monte Sereno and Saratoga) creeks, dispose of liquids leaking from business trash bins or oil running from a driveway into the gutter. Learn what we do to keep your creeks clean, and how we can all support this important work. Biography Dave Tucker is the acting Interim Executive Director for the West Valley Clean Water Program Authority as it seeks to recruit new management. Dave has over 30 years of professional experience with environmental stewardship having worked with the City of San Jose’s Environmental Services Department for most of his career.

06 Feb. 2019 Elisabeth Stitt 4 Challenges Modern Parents Face... Feb. 06, 2019 7:30 a.m. ...That Keep Them Overwhelmed, Anxious and Feeling Guilty About Their Kids. Parenting is not what it used to be. Whether you are a parent, grandparent, employer or manager, it is important to understand the unique pressures that parents are under today. Once parents understand the challenges and learn How to Combat Them, they become the leaders of their family, so their kids will thrive and grow into responsible adults. Parents who have calm and harmonious home lives are better able to find home/work life balance. In this workshop, Elisabeth’s highly-rated, power-packed teaching includes •How society does not support families and what can be done about it. •How to parent the kids you have (not the ones you wish you had) •How to parent from core values so as to be confident and focused as a parent. Bio: Author and award winning parent educator Elisabeth Stitt founded Joyful Parenting Coaching in 2014 to give parents the skills they need to be confident and joyous. Over the course of her 25-year teaching career in the Redwood City School District, Elisabeth saw how parents were becoming increasingly isolated and at the same time were coming to parenting with little or no actual hands on experience with kids. Whereas parents used to turn to family and neighbors for models in how to parent, today they have to seek out information and support from professionals. Through in-person workshops, one-on-one coaching and online webinars, Elisabeth helps parents establish harmonious households so they can have the warm, loving relationships they desire with their kids. On her Joyful Parenting tele-summits, Elisabeth has interviewed parenting experts like Dr. Michael Gurian, Dr. Laura Markham and author Julie Lythcott-Haims. Elisabeth’s book, Parenting as a Second Language uses anecdotes from her own experience as a mom, single mom, stepmom and teacher to show parents how to use warmth and empathy to stay connected to their kids even when they make the inevitable mistakes we make as parents.
