INTERESTED IN BEING PART OF SCOUTS?
We know this past year has been a challenging one and interest in Scouting may have waned but we’re hoping your kids will give us a try anyway because we’re doing the real thing, outdoors and in person, safely and within Covid guidelines. In other words: time on Zoom is minimized and time outside having fun is maximized.
Troops 64 and 4064 are a close-knit and active boy/girl combined troop. Each year we feature multiple camping trips, at least one backpacking trip, a snow camping adventure, river rafting, service projects and, of course, training on the great leadership and outdoor skills that the Scouting program is known for.
Don’t worry if your child didn’t complete the Cub Scouts program. There aren’t any rank requirements to join and in fact, no previous scouting experience is required. All Scouts start at ground zero and progress from there so everyone will be on even footing.
For more information, go to troop64pv.org or contact Karyn Hunt at Karyn@KarynHunt.com. We’d love to know if your son or daughter is interested; any parents who are willing to volunteer please also let us know. We’d love to have you!

WHEELCHAIR AND WALKER SHORTAGE
Upon recently hearing about a shortage of wheelchairs and walkers at Bay Area hospitals, my husband has started collecting them and hand delivering.
Apparently this shortage is slowing down their ability to ‘turn-over’ patients, hampering their ability to care for new patients, including Covid-19 patients.
If you or anyone you know has a wheelchair or walker you can part with, my husband will pick it up and deliver to St Louise Hospital in Gilroy, who is being hit especially hard.
Please email him directly - patrickreilly@cbre.com
Thank you,
Rachel Reilly
