Mission Statement
We are a grass-roots citizen group providing information and
leadership that empowers our community in the local
governmental process.
Objectives:
I. Unify our Community:
Broaden our membership to be representative of the citizens
within San Jose's City Council District 4 and any of the Berryessa
Union School District outside District 4.
Advertise our meetings through posting fliers, participation in the
San Jose District 4 mailing list, and press releases in the
Berryessa Sun and San Jose Mercury News.
Encourage liaisons from other neighborhood organizations and
homeowner groups to attend our meetings.
II. Lead the Community:
Sponsor and co-sponsor with other groups meetings about
candidates and ballot issues, pro's and con's.
Advocate and influence at all governmental levels about
non-partisan issues of common interest.
Write letters in support or against governmental actions.
Encourage the membership to participate in volunteer capacities
and elected offices to enhance the quality of life in our area.
Solicit candidates for city commissions and boards.
Solicit volunteers for school district committees.
Invite high school leaders to attend our meetings.
III. Provide two-way communication between the
community and local governmental entities.
Provide advance information to our membership before
decisions are made.
Encourage elected officials: City, County, and State Assembly to
give us an update about current issues of interest to our
membership.
Monthly update from the San Jose Police working within our area.
Provide value add to our membership:
