It's a busy summer for Saratogans

Saratogans continue to lead active lives this summer. Etta Palmer gave her daughter, Maura, an unusual birthday present: a Colorado trip to run the Pike's Peak Marathon/America's Ultimate Challenge. The two ran it together.

More than 100 people attended Ann Marie Burger's kick-off campaign for City Council at the home of Gladys and Fred Armstrong. Among those attending were City Council member Don Wolfe and Mayor Paul Jacobs. Beth Wyman, who is also a candidate for City Council, was there.

Friends of the Saratoga Libraries welcome new members and renewals. Forms can be picked up at the library or Book Go Round. There are plans for more evening meetings this year. The next meeting is Monday, Sept. 9, at 7 p.m. with Gerald Uelmen, Santa Clara University Law School professor and O.J. Simpson trial lawyer, speaking.

Community librarian Dolly Barnes reports that more than 1,000 children joined the Summer Reading Clubs at the Saratoga Library.

Rachel Varnell's photo appears in the Aug. l9 issue of People magazine. She is a second-year law student at Santa Clara University and had her picture taken for People while interning for Judge Hastings at the Richard Allen Davis trial.
