Tickets on sale for exclusive tour of historic home
Tickets are on sale now for an exclusive tour of Woodhills, the former home of San Francisco newspaper editor Fremont Older and his wife, Cora, given by the Cupertino Historical Society and Museum.
Only 100 people will get to tour and have lunch on May 1 at the 1923 home and gardens that have been carefully restored by former newspaper owners Mort and Elaine Levine. The couple are leasing the property from the Midpensinsula Open Space District.
The home was a meeting place for famous writers, such as Carl Sandberg, Bret Harte and Sinclair Lewis, as well as artists and politicians. Attorney Clarence Darrow and newspaper owner William Randolph Hearst were also entertained in the home, located in the foothills above Cupertino. It is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Tickets for the fundraiser are $55. For more information call (408) 973-1495.
New hotline starts for moms with postpartum
A new hotline was started this month for new moms who are experiencing any level of postpartum mood disorder or adjustment problems.
Trained moms who have survived postpartum depression will answer the phones and offer information, coping ideas, referrals and a listening ear. The service is free and confidential. Callers can reach the hotline at either (408) 993-8336 or (650) 327-3333.
The hotline was created by the Postpartum Health Alliance of Northern California, in collaboration with Family Service Mid-Peninsula. The organizations estimate that 15 to 20 percent of all new moms will experience major depression after childbirth. It may continue for an extended period of time and is often accompanied by crying, chronic anxiety and overwhelming feelings of guilt. If not treated properly, the illness can have a devastating affect on mother and baby; suicide is a real threat.
For more information, call Carol Stevens, president of the Postpartum Health Alliance of Northern California at (408) 774-1464.
