CALIFORNIA FISH GRILL OPENS IN THE ORCHARDS!
California Fish Grill , committed to serving only sustainably sourced seafood, celebrated its grand opening in The Orchards with a ribbon cutting and luncheon on Friday, August 10.
 
"We’ve been looking forward to opening here for a long time," said Northern California Regional Manager Miguel Rodriquez, who noted that 2018 marks California Fish Grill's 20th anniversary. "And I have to say that Walnut Creek is not only a beautiful community, but it’s a great community!"
 
The Walnut Creek restaurant is the company's 22nd opening and it expects to serve more than 200,000 meals to its fish-loving friends this year.
 
Referring to the restaurant's mission statement, Mayor Justin Wedel, who was on hand to welcome the team, said, "Just like the City of Walnut Creek, you aspire to be the best. We love to see businesses that aspire to do what is best for their customers, so it's great to see California Fish Grill in Walnut Creek and we’re glad to have you as part of our Walnut Creek family."

CALICRAFT TAPPED FOR THE GREAT AMERICAN BEER FESTIVAL IN DENVER!
Calicraft Brewing Company will be pouring at the biggest, most prestigious beer festival in the country, the Great American Beer Festival, September 20-22.

The local favorite has also been invited to take part in the PAIRED event, where celebrated chefs and breweries from around the country collaborate to bring exclusive beers to life by pairing them with expertly crafted small bites. Only 30 of 2,000 breweries have been invited to participate.

Additionally, Calicraft is one of only 15 breweries invited to give a presentation to festival attendees. The title of the lecture is Beyond the Barrel: Sour beer and wine. Founder & owner Blaine Landberg says, "We are honored and incredibly excited!"
NOW, THIS IS USING YOUR HEAD!
The management team at Allergy & Asthma Medical Group of the Bay Area , located at 370 N. Wiget Lane, Suite 210, takes great measures to keep its employees safe and healthy with an active wellness program that spans all six Northern California offices. When Shadelands rolled out its free LimeBike bikeshare program in January 2018, managers noticed employees taking advantage of the bikes, but without one important safety feature: helmets.

To encourage use of LimeBikes for exercise and transportation around Shadelands, AAMG purchased bike helmets for employee use.


Remember, LimeBikes are free
for Shadelands employees!
