The kickoff for Stephen Cassidy’s run for Mayor of San Leandro is this Thursday, November 12 at Zocalo. Things start at 7pm and it’ll be your first chance to get to know who Stephen is and whether you believe he should be your next mayor.

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.
State Senator Ellen Corbett is holding a town hall on the fate of San Leandro Hospital. With the purchase by Sutter now denied by the Eden Township Medical Board, what will happen to our hospital and ER?
Corbett’s Town Hall will be held Thursday, August 27th at 6pm at the San Leandro Main Library.
San Leandro Bytes reports the Eden Township Healthcare Board voted to not approve Sutter Health’s purchase of the San Leandro Hospital last night.
This is great news as it opens up new avenues for saving the hospital and ER. The board also voted to get legal council on the lease and other aspects of the deal, as well as look into the financial and other numbers provided by Sutter.
Congressman Pete Stark’s Health Care Town Hall was held this morning at 10:30 at City Hall. Over 450 people showed up, though there turned out to be capacity for only 120.
Things were civil. Many more signs for reform were present, reports from in the hall were that random questioners were more like half pro and half against. You can see photos here.
