Local business helps stamp out breast cancer
Downtown Campbell business owner Linda Leong and Saratoga resident Bonnie Stone have merged their services in support of women with breast cancer. Stone, an award-winning artist, has created 100 signed and numbered stamp sets which will be sold exclusively at Leong's Rubber Stamp Outlet at 411 E. Campbell Ave. in Campbell. The two stamp designs are titled "Bon Bonnière," a box of bon-bons with ribbons, and "Tipsy Teacups," which has a set of teacups one inside the other.
"I've worked in all kinds of mediums," Stone says. "It's really exciting to work with Linda, see my images come to life, and know that we are doing a good deed."
The price for the rubber stamp set is $12 and they will be available for sale until the sets run out. All proceeds benefit the Bay Area Breast Cancer Network.
Beautification celebrates community spirit
Winners of the third annual Campbell Beautification Contest were announced at the City Council meeting last Tuesday. The selection committee, which comprised past contest winners, judged the winners on several criteria, including creativity, resourcefulness, originality and overall beauty. And the winners in their respective categories are: Edna Fisher for Mobile Home; Corinthian House for Multi-Family Residence; and Joseph and Daisy Brien for their Single-Family Home on Palo Santo Drive. Two special recognition awards were given to the neighbors adjacent to the traffic circle on Central and David avenues, and to Moreland Discovery School for its community garden of fruits and vegetables, which serves as an ecological and educational resource for the children. Both projects benefited and celebrated the spirit of the community, said city administrative analyst Al Bito.
"The traffic circle belongs to the city, but these neighbors took it upon themselves to transplant flowers and plants from their own backyards into the circle," said Bito, who also coordinated the contest. "The nice thing about it is not only is it a beautiful traffic circle, but it [the project] has brought the neighbors closer together."
Correction:
The phone number given in the Newstand, "Volunteer program looking for a few good seniors to tutor kids," Sept. 22, was incorrect. Seniors interested in volunteering for the Healthy Start program should call 408.341.7000, ext. 4265.
