Cozy Days Ahead
As we wrap up the year and celebrate the holidays with friends and family, let's take a moment to look back at the year and appreciate some of the wonderful things that make Tam Valley so special.
We are a unique community in so many ways. Long ago residents came together to form the Tam Valley Improvement Club (TVIC) to help provide services to residents outside of City limits. Sewer, trash collection and activities were organized. The TVIC built the Tam Valley Community Center and formed the service district that we now benefit from. Our Solid Waste collectors, Mark, Servando, Sherman, Orlando and Jon, are so loved in the community. What a unique experience that they only service Tam Valley! The sewer runs smoothly and thank goodness because that is something we don't want to notice going wrong! Thank you to Mike and Nick for their work all year long. Our office is staffed with Natalie at the front desk, Sarah keeping us running in all things finance related, Garrett and Alan managing this small but mighty operation. Josh keeps our parks and open space manicured and managed beautifully. Casey is my right hand for all events and makes sure our facilities are ready for all the fun things we host! I am so honored to be here to serve this community in communications and to continue the strong traditions of events and activities. I grew up just a stones throw away in Homestead Valley. Mount Tam is a special part of my history and working in Tam Valley fostering community connection is truly an honor.
We also need to thank this community of neighbors and volunteers. You show up in all the ways you can to foster connection and celebrate this special place. Thank you! It is so wonderful to see so many new faces along with the familiar ones at our events. There were so many little ones at Breakfast with Santa last weekend, even in a rainstorm, and it's safe to say we'll be going strong for years to come.
So get cozy at home, enjoy the holidays, reflect on this wonderful year and plan ahead for all the fun things coming up in 2025. Crab Feed tickets go on sale today and it's a great way to ring in the New Year! Then the Tam Valley Players will present this year's Murder Mystery - Murder on the Bocce Court!
Our newsletter will take a pause next week but we'll be back in early January.
