Help a Fellow Strandwood Parent

 

For those of you who may have missed the Celebration of Life for Carla Medina, you can still offer your support to Juan Carlos, Jacob, and Miranda Medina.

 

As you can imagine, this family is in a state of shock and completely overwhelmed right now after the passing of Carla. The Medina family really needs the support of their Strandwood family right now. We want them to know that they are not alone.

 

We have set up a website at https://lotsahelpinghands.com/c/704326/. Click on the "join this community" link to request access. If you can help with meals for this family and perhaps other tasks that may be needed, please join this site. 

 

In addition, if you are able to help with any kind of monetary donation, that would be very much appreciated. Make checks payable to "Juan Carlos Medina", and reference account #524003 on the check. You can put it in the box in the office or mail to:

 

Travis Credit Union

1257 Willow Pass Road

Concord, CA 877-8328

(800)877-8328

 

If you have questions, please feel free to email Maren Anton at marenanton@gmail.com or Debbie Wilson at Debbie_Wilson@comcast.net. Additionally, If you know of any other family or individual who needs community support, please don't hesitate to contact Debbie.

 

Thank you for any assistance you can give this family in this very difficult time.

Help Strandwood Grow!
by Dan Stefanisko

The Gardening Committee needs your help watering during the dry months to keep our campus looking great. Volunteers are needed for weekly shifts beginning now and continuing through the warm season. Watering duties take between 1 to 1½  hours per shift. With a group of volunteers we can spread out the work to make this a manageable task. Please contact Dan Stefanisko (dstefanisk@aol.com) to receive more information and schedule a time when you can help. Thank you!
