Hello!
The holiday season is here. I hope it will be an opportunity for all of
us to not only spend time with friends and family, but also enjoy
festivities with each other in community.
Something I want to highlight at the start is our downtown
shopping survey we have just started. I encourage you to respond
to the survey and share it with your neighbors.

Thank you to
everyone that joined us yesterday at Centennial Plaza for the annual tree
lighting. Naturally, it was also great to have a visit from Santa Claus
as well.

Coming Next Year -
City Services Academy!
The City of San Bruno is happy to announce that it will pilot a City
Services Academy next week. Open to all San Bruno residents, this program
will last several weeks and will include presentations from several
departments and tours of City facilities.
This is a great way to learn about what your City does for you and what
goes into their day-to-day work. If you are a student or eager to enter
public service, this is also an excellent peak into what's possible in
local government.
