Seniors Being Targeted Lottery Scam
December 3, 2011
This is very scary and could happen to any of our family members or friends. Please take the time to talk to your seniors that are close to you. On December 1, in the middle of the afternoon at the San Carlos Trader Joe’s, a woman in her 70’s was returning to her vehicle after shopping at Trader Joe’s in San Carlos. She was approached by two Hispanic males who offered to let her take part in a large draw from a winning lottery ticket if she would give them some good faith money. Although hesitant, the lady was coerced into the vehicle driven by both suspects and taken to her home in Redwood City. The victim went into her home and retrieved a large amount of cash and gave it to the suspects. She was then driven to the corner of El Camino Real & Madison Ave. in Redwood City where she was dropped off and the suspects drove away. The victim called her daughter to pick her up and told her what happened. They then reported the crime to the Sheriff’s Office.
The suspects are described as follows:
#1 – Hispanic male 60-70 years old, 5’5”-5’7” tall, stocky build, wearing glasses
#2 – Hispanic male 20-25 years old, 6’0”-6’4” tall, thin build, short black hair
Suspect vehicle – White full size newer model van with a sliding door and windows that wrap around the entire vehicle.
The Sheriff’s Office would like to make families aware of this type of crime that frequently targets elders.
Families are encouraged to talk to their seniors about these types of predators and the warning signs that they are being victimized.

In honor of the passing of Steve Jobs, I wanted to share this commencement speech that he gave to the graduates of Stanford in 2005. It is 15 minutes, but well worth the insight. RIP
How to dispose of prescription drugs
October 2, 2011
I had decided to clean out my Mom’s bathroom cabinets, which were filled with old prescriptions from the 40′s, 50′s and on… Needless to say, I am surprised they are still in tact. My Mom still thinks one of these days she will be using them.
In the Bay Area, we are fortunate that our police stations in each city have a disposal bag inside the station. We don’t need anymore drugs in our water. I decided after cleaning out Mom’s cabinet in Michigan, it was time to do mine when I got back home. I think I need to do this on a more regular basis.

This other flyer also has more info. from the fda. gov site.
San Carlos New Eatery Bair Island Tap & Eatery
September 29, 2011
Hi everyone, I have been busy taking care of some Mom issues…. I am of that sandwich generation. I am glad to be back. And, while coming back… this new restaurant opened on Laurel Street in San Carlos….Seems like remodeling a restaurant is every bit as frustrating as having work done at home. Things happen.
Bair Island (formerly Laurel Kabob) – set to open two weeks ago – hit some snags when key deliveries didn’t make it on time, etc.
So today, “is the day!!!!” says owner Charles Evans.
The menu won’t be totally complete for its debut. Evans says they’ll have: four different kinds of sausages, pulled pork, several fresh salads, cole slaw, condiments (relishes and mustards), eight beers on tap and wine to come soon.
For a background story on Bair Island, click here. Located at 635 Laurel Street in San Carlos.. Sounds like another winner! Go San Carlos…..

I’ve attached a flyer to share with anyone you feel appropriate. If someone might be interested in our up coming event- Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.
Just to let you know, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is a non-competitive walk to save lives and to inspire hope for a future free of breast cancer. With no registration fee or minimum donation required to participate, everyone is welcome.
The walk is a great way for companies to get involve as a team in the community and helps raise hope and awareness for the issue of breast cancer.
There are two opportunities to walk in Making Strides this fall; October 22 in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park and October 29 along the Guadalupe River Trail in downtown San Jose.
