Hello Neighbors,

 

Pokey the Family Hero

Hello, my name is Pokey Lujan.     

On August 26th 2010 my family’s home Rockdale Dr caught fire. Thankfully I woke up my family and got everyone out safe, but we lost everything including our 3 vehicles.
Our neighbors in the Strawberry Park Neighborhood are collecting donations of cash, checks, gift cards and items both household and personal to help us recover and rebuild our lives.

If you would like to my donate an item to my family, please use the Target gift registry for “Pokey’s Family”
(or enter List ID: 012399302208015).

All donations (items, gift cards, cash & checks (made  payable to: Joe Lujan) can be shipped, mailed or delivered to: “Pokey’s Family” c/o The Brooks at 4565 Strawberry Park Dr. San Jose Ca 95129. or email Patty Brooks at President@StrawberryParkNA.org or call (408) 421-7578 to make arrangements to have them picked up.

We are also looking for a rental within our neighborhood as their first wish is to stay here and have their son continue his schooling at EDS, If you know of a rental please forward it to my email below, The rental MUST allow 1 dog.

Sincerely,
Pokey Lujan

From The Family

My name is Jeremi I am good friends with Joe and his
family. I live just 6 house down from the fire. I was asked
by Joe to come here and let everyone know he is moved by the out pouring of all the neighbors and the kind compassionate things being done and offered. I have known Joe for over 15 years and he has never been so thankful for what people are doing than he is with the neighbors of Strawberry Park. Again on behalf of the Lujan family I
want you to know WE
ARE VERY THANKFUL>>> THANK YOU!!!

2010 brings in SPNA Driveway Gatherings

This year we are going to try something new called Driveway Gatherings. One address will host a gathering by inviting others to join them for a few hours in their driveway. They may serve drinks and snacks or ask others to bring them or both, The host gets to make the rules and decisions about their gathering. You can pick a theme or not have a theme at all, be creative and be fun, this is a great way to get to know your neighbors, You get to decide which blocks around your house you will flyer and we will print and provide the flyers to you. We can also advertise on this website and through both Yahoo! Groups as well to help spread the word. The purpose is to get to know each other a little bit better through socialization. Just think of all the networking you might do as well.
