At today’s meeting, the Club hosted the four candidates for the Castro Valley Sanitary District (CV SAN) Board. Each candidate outlined his qualifications to serve on the board, the issues facing CV SAN and his vision for the future of CV SAN. This presentation was part of the Club’s ongoing efforts to engage the community and keep the members and guests informed on issues critical to Castro Valley. Club members had the opportunity to ask questions about the increase in rates and the construction of a new office. On October 25th, the Club will be hosting the five candidates for the Castro Valley Unified School District Board for similar informative presentation. Upcoming speakers are posted on the Club’s website.
