Eggstravaganza

Posted on by

Eggstravaganza 2013

It’s time for the RSCA’s annual Eggstravaganza, held every year at Marlin Park in the center of Redwood Shores. Bring all your children and a basket for goodies to the park for the big Egg Hunt, where toddlers and young kids can seek out goodies hidden in the grass and playground. Also, the Easter Bunny will be there to lead off the Egg Hunt and later to pose for pictures with the boys and girls, so be sure to take along a camera as well!

The festivities begin at 1:00 PM on Sunday, March 23rd at Marlin Park here in Redwood Shores.

Be sure to arrive early so that your child can line up in the right age category — the eggs disappear quickly, and the whistle begins exactly at 1:00, so be on time!

 

We’ll have treats for the kids, so please bring a small basket. (Please limit your children to 6 eggs each so that everyone can share.) Look for the GOLDEN EGGS for a special prize!

Our local RWC Police will also be available to provide voluntary FINGERPRINTING for children of parents who might wish to have this record for identification. Because a child’s appearance can change in a short time, fingerprinting can be the best way to identify a lost child. And parents, don’t forget your camera for photo opportunities with the Easter Bunny.

The Eggstravaganza is run by RSCA, and is a great place to sign up with our organization if you have not yet had a chance to do so. Please join in in making great events like this possible in Redwood Shores!

Come Meet with RWC’s Chief of Police

Redwood City Police Chief J.R. Gamez will be hosting his fourth Town Hall-style community meetings, each held in a different area of the City. These meetings are an opportunity for people to participate along with their neighbors to discuss issues which may be of importance to that specific area. Three previous town hall meetings with the Chief were held in May and June in other neighborhoods of Redwood City.


Meet With Redwood City Police Chief J.R. Gamez
Tuesday evening, Oct. 9, 7:00pm, RWS Library
(corner of Marine Pky & Bridge Pky;  click HERE for a map)

“These gatherings are an important way for residents and police to create partnerships, to learn from one another, and to build trusting, cooperative relationships that are the very foundation of a strong, safe community,” says Chief Gamez.” We can only do this if we talk to each other, and that’s what these Town Hall meetings are all about.”

This meeting offers the chance for Shores residents to meet the Chief and his command staff, to create connections between the community and the Police Department, to exchange information, and to engage in small-group discussions around neighborhood issues. From these Town Hall meetings, the Chief and his staff also gain the community’s perspectives and concerns on law enforcement and related issues for each area. The meetings are facilitated by the collaborative group Redwood City 2020, working with Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center.

Join us this coming Tuesday evening, October 9th, 7:00pm.

You can find the Redwood City Police Department’s website at www.redwoodcity.org/police . Residents can learn about the Department, get burglary prevention tips, sign up for alerts and newsletters, report a minor crime online, get police reports, view Redwood City’s crime map online, chat live online with a police officer, and more.
