Tour 3/28/09

Our next tour will be to the California Academy of Science at Golden Gate Park. It has been newly renovated and is now a 400,000 square foot structure housing an aquarium, planetarium, natural history museum, and a rain forest… all under one roof! We will see penguin feeding, coral reef divers, an albino alligator, and lots more.

We will be leaving Big Lots, 200 Serra Way,  at 9:30 a.m. sharp. Please call Barbara at (408) 942-1492 if you wish to attend, so that enough drivers can be arranged. Sorry, but those arriving without calling will have to take their own car if no space is available.

Meeting 3/11/09

7:00 p.m. Milpitas Community Library

Guest Speaker – Dorothy Wuss

Dorothy’s maiden name was Bernell. Bernell Road in south San Jose was named for her parents. She will be speaking about the De Anza expedition on through to her Bernell history.

Refreshment Volunteers

A call for help went out last month for refreshment volunteers, and the response, as usual, was great!

Thank you to Miss Mabel, Joanne Souza, Dotte Doremus, Margaret Haug, Arlene Kaiser, Mary Lien, Harriett McGuire, and Betty Burk.

Welcome Milpitas Historians

Welcome to Milpitashistoricalsociety.org.

We went with the muti-blog format so each historical topic or the author voice may have a ambiance/style to go along with the presentation.

If all you want is text there is a text only theme as well.

Note: When creating a blog read the Terms of Service and check the ‘I agree’ box, before clicking the Create Blog button.

You do not, however, have to create your own blog to add content to this blog. Members who wish to be “authors” or “editors” should talk talk to me, Ann Zeise, at any meeting or call me at (408) 942-5433, and I will give you appropriate permission to be able to add content. Any member my comment on any post they wish, of course. Comments are moderated to prevent spamming.
