Girl Scout Cadette Troop 724

Our 40^th anniversary celebration has now come and gone and despite the rain we had a great turn out. If you weren’t able to attend there’s still ways you can check out what RSCA has done the last 40 years and how this area has developed.

We hope to have the historical boards displayed soon at the library for your enjoyment and you can try out the Historical Walk at any time. You can download the walk on RSCA.org or pick up a copy at the library and Sandpiper. We will post on the web site the various weeks the sign boards will be out on the walk but again the walk is easy to follow by the using the brochures or the download.

I wanted to personally thank my committee — Carol Mertens, Lynn Adams. Clemencia Rodriquez, Doug Crisman, Nina Boire and Pat Dixon. Also two people who worked incredibly hard on the event Harris Rogers who scanned every piece of material used and Marc Nix who put ALL the historical signs together and the Historical walk.

I also wanted to thank our exhibitors — Boy Scout Troop 27, Girl Scout Cadette Troop 724, Julie Wynn & Ray Tekamaki from Electronic Arts, Shellie Sakamoto & friends from The Lions Club, Mary Ellen and Jessica Hills and Carol Scola from Nine Lives Foundation, Provident Credit Union, Erica Spacher the Neighborhood Liason Coordinator from The City of Redwood City, Recology and Mike Mancusi, Shannon & Joe Guzzetta, Joanne Bruggemann, Yi Chinn, Kent Soo Hoo and Beth Godfrey from the Redwood Shores Emergency Response Team.

It seems as if RSCA has been a tremendous watch dog over the years for the Shores and will continue to strive to keep Redwood Shores a great place to live. Keep in touch using our website, The Pilot and our sign boards

CONGRATULATIONS for 40 years of service to Redwood Shores.

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!

Ralston Middle School 7th graders from Cadette Troop 724, alumni of Sandpiper, have teamed up with the Sandpiper PTA Green Team to help make a difference. At Sandpiper’s Fall Festival in October, the girls helped Sandpiper collect 150 pairs of athletic shoes for donation to the Nike Re-Use-A-Shoe Program. The shoes will be ground up and made into sport surfaces like running tracks, basketball courts, playgrounds, and soccer fields. SAVE your athletic shoes and there will be another collection in May, 2010.

The girls also joined with Ecophones, an electronics recycling group, to collect old cell phones, iphones, ink jet cartridges, MP3 players and old laptop computers. We are continuing our collection of these small electronic items throughout the school year. Starting in Jan.,2010, there will be a collection bin for Ecophones/Sandpiper PTA in the Sandpiper Community Center. Please help Girl Scout Troop 724 and Sandpiper students GO GREEN with recycling your old and unused small electronic items.
