MIA Member Meeting Tuesday 9/19 at 7PM

Please join us for our September 2023 Member Meeting at the clubhouse on Tuesday 9/19 at 7pm.

We have invited Lenka Wright, to share information about the District 10 Leadership Council, about herself, and her vision for District 10 and the City of San Jose. Lenka Wright is a member of the District 10 Leadership Council and candidate for District 10 City Council seat.

We will be inviting other council candidates to our future member meetings. The Board does not endorse candidates for public office. MIA does work to provide opportunities that inform and educate our neighborhood about challenges, issues, and elections that impact our community.

We will also discuss the progress on the renovation of the poolhouse, the process and timeline for the swimming pool and deck replacement, the upcoming reserve study, 4th of July re-cap, and the latest financials.

Car Break-Ins on Upper Puerto Vallarta

In case you didn’t hear, there were multiple car smash-and-grab break-ins on September 10, 2023 at 4:13 AM on upper PV, in addition to many other neighborhoods around San Jose.

As a reminder, please lock your car, don’t leave valuables (or anything for that matter) in your vehicle overnight, and report suspicious activity to the police.

When the Captain of the SJPD Southern Division came out last year to speak at our community meeting, he said, if you think a crime might be in progress or just happened, property damage or theft included, call 9-1-1. This will give the police the best opportunity to respond, especially if they are getting multiple reports from around the city. If you discover your car had been broken into over night, then it would be more appropriate to call the non-emergency line.

On Tuesday, September 19, 2023 at 7PM we will be having a MIA meeting. We have invited District 10 Candidate for City Council and member of the District 10 Leadership Coalition, Lenka Wright, to join us at the beginning of the meeting. If you would like to hear her thoughts and what she sees as a priority for our community and for the City of San Jose, please join us.

On Tuesday August 1 5:30-7:30 at the clubhouse, Montevideo will be participating in National Night Out to help build better relationships between neighbors and law enforcement. We are inviting you and your family to participate in our ice cream social sponsored by Kerry Smith and the Bonafede Team and Brandon Koehne, Almaden’s very own Realtor.
