Fundraiser at $8K – Will It Reach 10K?
Zocalo’s Fundraiser for Davis Street Family Resource Center is booming! Thank you to all who have been so generous to date. We’ve had so many $5, $25, and $100 donations it’s amazing, and we’ve now received our third $500 Tree Topper donation!
At the moment we’re at $4000, or $8000 with matching funds from Zocalo. We’re hoping to reach $10,000 by the end of the year and only have 6 days left. That means we need only $170 a day in donations! Can you make our day?
It’s as simple as bringing cash or check (made out to “Davis St.” to Zocalo. We’ll match whatever you donate automatically and you can, if you choose, decorate and hang your own ornament! From $5 up, it all ads up… hopefully to $10,000 by the 31st!
Merry Christmas to all.

Local Author Kid’s book signing, this Fri 7pm!
We’re having a book signing for local author Cynthia Jaynes Omololu at Zocalo, Friday at 7pm for her new book!
Paraphrasing from her website, her book, When It’s Six O’clock in San Francisco, is a lyrical picture book that introduces the concept of time zones.
As a boy eats breakfast in San Francisco, another in London plays football, a girl in Lahore eats dinner, and another in Sydney calls for a drink of water in the night. Poetic language and charming vignettes of everyday lives of children around the world simplify the concept of time zone.
Don’t miss it, and bring your kids to meet the author of a real live book!
SLCAN: 1st Thurs: Child Nutrition
SLCAN’s First Thursday event is tonight at 7pm! Local experts Kinkini Banerjee, MS, and Jill Rodgers-Quaye, Ph.D. are presenting. Here’s the writeup from SLCAN:
Children’s early years are critical in shaping their physical, emotional and social well-being. Reinforce lifelong eating habits to help them develop a healthy lifestyle. Toddler or a teen, you can encourage them to eat smarter, move more, learn better and grow up to their full potential.
We’ll review the factors that make your child vulnerable to developing a negative body image and a range of eating and weight related problems and discuss what you can do to help buffer your child from these risk factors.
