Thanks everybody for coming out to the 2010 Halloween Walk. We’ll see you again next year!
Bring your kids in their Halloween costumes to Marlin Park on Saturday, October 30, 2010 at 1:00 PM sharp for a spooky good time in the park.
We will have treats for the kids, so please bring a goodie bag or bucket. And PARENTS, don’t forget the camera for photo opportunities with the Good Witch!
RSCA holds this event each year for our children elementary school age and under.
To help you learn more about Redwood Shores’ past and present, the Redwood Shores Community Association has created a Walking Guide that takes you to various scenic and historic spots in the neighborhood. This two-mile walk is accessible at all of its points by foot, bicycle or car, and there will be signs out over the weekend to guide you through the tour.
Those with GPS-enabled smartphones (or those at home who are interested in what there is to see along the route) can also jump over to an interactive tour guide provided courtesy Google Maps. You can click for a Street View of each spot, and check out story text and photographs that explain the relevance of each spot.
Full-size guide signs will be posted on the 17th, so please take the tour and help celebrate our history!
The Redwood Shores Community Association will be turning 40 this year. We are in the process of putting a celebration together that everybody in the Shores community is invited to.
The committee is in the process of putting together the history of how this great community came to be. We will have on display information about the Shores from its start in the early ’60s. There will be photos showing how the area was developed showing some of the fond memories of the past like when Marine World was a part of our community and a great neighbor.
Those of us that can remember sitting in our back yards listening to the dolphins and whales to who remembers when there was only one road in and out of the Shores. Or better yet there was a time when we did not have a grocery store — anyone remember Byrnes Market?
The Shores is built out and now the RSCA works to keep it a great community. We’re proud how our community has developed, and we want to celebrate 40 years of progress and accomplishments.
Please mark your calendar for the event, to be held Sunday October 17, 2-5PM at the new Redwood Shores School. More details will be coming in the Pilot and our website ( www.rsca.org ). Please plan on attending bring your family.
If you have any memorabilia you might want to share please contact us at . We are also looking for groups who might want to participate with the activities during the celebration — contact us for more information.

Summer Thoughts
Just last night, around 100 neighbors and I enjoyed a great concert in Marlin Park by the Internationals, a four man band from the South Bay that specializes in German beer garden music (the Lederhosen were a give away). They played plenty of polkas, but they also mixed in some spectacular cowboy yodeling, an Italian favorite, and a good bit of comedy.
The concert was sponsored by RSCA along with Redwood City, and is just one example of the good things that happen in the Shores in the summer. At the same time, a good-sized group was sweating through what looked like a basic-training workout on the basketball court, and a girls’ soccer match was underway on the field. I also was able to check out the new bench that was recently installed near the lagoon (pretty much straight out from where Cringle meets Neptune) as a memorial to LaVerne Atherley, former president of RSCA and long time supporter of Redwood Shores. RSCA wants to thank the City for their help with this, as they approved the location we hoped for, poured the cement base, and installed the bench. We’ll have a memorial plaque installed on the bench soon.
So, some beautiful evening before the end of the summer, take a walk down to Marlin Park and enjoy the view from LaVerne’s bench. It might hit you, just like it hit me last night, how special is summer in the Shores.
A Bit More on the Architectural Design Board (ADB)
I mentioned last month that the Redwood Shores Architectural Design Review Board (ADB) is responsible for overseeing the Codes Covenants and Restrictions (CC&Rs) in a number of Redwood Shores neighborhoods west of Shell Parkway, including the Marlin and Dolphin Park neighborhoods.
This month, I’d like to mention a few specific items that fall under the CC&Rs that might surprise you:
Enjoy the rest of your summer!
