Little ole Hollister’s marching band will represent CA in a 10th Anniversary of 911.
The marching band from San Benito High School will be one of only two schools from California to march in the 2011 New York Veterans Day Parade.
The Free Lance Newspaper article provides some of the basic information but is lacking one, very important angle: when and where are the fund raisers going to be?
Sending all of the band members, their instruments and leaders to New York will not be an inexpensive event.
A recent change in the typical fund raising events, however, is going to cause some interesting challenges. It seems that band member families and supporting friends will not be allowed to have bake sales. No more homemade cookies, pies and cakes. Something to do with health code issues? Could it be that the First Lady’s influence has already affect our little community? Or, is it local bakeries complaining about competition?
Are we going to have to devise a different slogan? It’s always been: “Good old mom and apple pie”. Will we have to say: “Cellophane-wrapped, expiration date stamped, virtual pie”?
We are thrilled about our home town band being selected! There is nothing like the sound of horns and drums blaring down Main Street USA. Couldn’t we keep some of the same emotional foundations like home made goodies? And, by the way, who says my wife’s killer homemade fudge can’t help the tuba player go to New York?
What are your thoughts?
Location, location, location. Here is a ‘turnkey’ home nestled on 5, oak tree studded, acres in the San Juan Bautista foothills.
This bright and sunny home is only 40 min. from San Jose, 13 miles from Gilroy’s Outlets and CalTrains; 4 miles from San Juan’s village and schools, 20 min. to the beach and a little further to Monterey.
As you watch the VIDEO Tour (above) of this great home look for all of the natural light, large oak trees, and the home’s quality. 860 Merrill Rd is located at the end of the lane, about a mile up from Hwy 101.
You can also click on the “City Tours” tab above to see a VIDEO Tour of San Juan Bautista as well.
In addition to the 4 large bedrooms, 3 full baths, over sized 3 car garage and 3,149 sq. ft., the energy efficiency, privacy and great location of this home will make you glad you found it.
860 Merrill will be going on the market in a few weeks. Call or e-mail me for your own, personal tour of this wonder country home.
I welcome your comments here.
We have short memories; we don’t keep track of data; and we listen to NATION trends rather than study OUR community’s trends.
When we do look back and consider the cyclical nature of the housing market we’ll see that the peaks and valleys are very predictable.
So when I came across this presentation I was impressed. I began thinking: “Let’s see, how can I buy another home?”
A contrarian, by definition, buys when the masses say not to and sells when others are buying. It is not coincidental that successful investors march to their own trend-studies and, not do follow the mass media’s reactionary reporting.
So. What do you think? Ready to brave the storm and buy a home? Everyone else is selling. I know just the expert who can help you.
