Twelve people enjoyed the movie CITIZENFOUR,  Edward Snowdon’s journey as a whistle blower. The highly rated CITIZENFOUR is a real life thriller, unfolding by the minute, giving unprecedented access to Edward Snowden as he hands over classified documents providing evidence of mass indiscriminate and illegal invasions of privacy by the NSA.  It was free and informative!

Garden Tour 

featuring Master Gardener Sue Zaslaw

Saturday, May 2

We saw a lovely sustainable garden featuring fruits, vegetables, flowers, and a koi pond; we learned about irrigation, worm and hot composting, and raising chickens (these produce beautiful colored eggs!)  After the tour, we had a Q&A session and refreshments (with a Cinco de mayo theme).

Dean Club Table at the JJ Dinner

donkeyThe Dean Club had two tables at the annual Santa Clara County Democratic Party JJ Dinner. State Senator Jim Beall and his wife, Pat, joined us at one table and State Assembly Member Kansen Chu and his wife, Daisy, sat at the other Dean Club table.  The speaker, John Laird, Secretary of the California Natural Resources Agency, was funny and informative.  The issue of water came up.  As did fracking.

The JJ Dinner was on April 25, 2015 at the Fairmont Hotel.
