Richard Santos joins water district
The Santa Clara Valley Water District recently swore in its newest addition to its board of directors. Richard Santos, who ran unopposed for the District 3 seat, replaces Robert Gross, who retired after serving for 20 years on the board. The water district is Santa Clara County's wholesale drinking water manager and coordinates flood protection, as well as stewarding the 700 miles of streams in the county.
Northwest YMCA reopening soon
The grand reopening of the Northwest YMCA, located at 1635 Belleville Way, Sunnyvale, is scheduled for Feb. 3. Construction on the $2.8 million expansion project at the Northwest YMCA began last April. The existing branch will be enhanced by a new family aquatic center and an 8,500-square-foot aerobic studio. The residents of Sunnyvale, Cupertino and West San Jose will have the opportunity to enjoy expanded programs for children, teens and families starting in February. This free community event will include facility tours, food and music.
The newly expanded center will feature fitness programs designed specifically with the increasing over-55 population in mind. In addition to recreational active adult water volleyball and other water exercise classes, the Northwest YMCA offers a program co-developed by the Arthritis Foundation with exercises designed to offer relief for people with arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome. The class provides gentle motion and activities in water to help increase joint flexibility, range of motion, muscle strength and endurance.
