CUHSD candidate forum
The League of Women Voters-Southwest Santa Clara Valley is hosting a Sept. 30 online forum for candidates for the Campbell Union High School District board.
District 4 incumbent Linda Goytia is running against Basil Saleh, an alumnus of the high school district, in the Nov. 3 elections. Board president Kalen Gallagher, the district 5 representative, is running unopposed for re-election.
The forum begins at 7 p.m. on Zoom. Audience members will have audio access only and will be muted during the forum, but can submit one question for the candidates when they register at https://tinyurl.com/LWVCandidateForum0930.
BIPOC stories sought
The Campbell Historical Museum and Ainsley House Foundation wants your help with an ongoing project are asking Campbell-area residents of color to share their stories about their experiences during the pandemic.
“BIPOC stories are underrepresented in our local histories, and it is our mission to add color to the history of Campbell,” reads a post on the museum’s Facebook page.
To share a story, take the survey at bit.ly/colorcampbellsurvey or email campbellcamuseum@gmail.com.
Virtual NAMIWalk
Instead of walking a 5K together at Guadalupe Park, participants in Santa Clara County’s fundraiser for the National Alliance on Mental Illness on Oct. 10 will choose an activity and join virtually with 33 other NAMIWalks across the country.
Many participants still plan to walk—using their treadmill, going outside in the backyard or strolling through a local park—all while taking precautions against the COVID-19 virus. Others plan to hula-hoop, flip pancakes, practice yoga or do another activity they enjoy. They will share their activities on social media and follow NAMI Santa Clara County’s program on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter.
NAMI Walks Silicon Valley supports those who experience mental illness and those who support them. To join NAMIWalks Your Way, visit namiwalks.org/siliconvalley. There is no registration fee, but fundraising is encouraged to support NAMI Santa Clara County’s free local mental health programs and services.
