Dear Friends and Neighbors,
April 2025 was
FILLED with lots in bloom – and that’s not just because of Sustainability
Month and Earth
Day! 🌏🌷🌿🌱
On the first
day of April, we celebrated the
grand re-opening of Regional Medical Center , which officially join ed Santa Clara Valley Healthcare’s family of public hospitals and high-quality care countywide. It was a great way to start
a new month and helped us
get rolling on a ton of other great events !
Take a look below at some other incredible events, both in community and with the County itself, and join us in looking toward the next month of events that demonstrate just how diverse
and joyful this community is.
As we face challenges
from the federal government’s policies affecting us here locally, it is imperative for us to stand in community together, and work for everyone
in our County. We at the County of Santa Clara will continue to work together to support our community near and far, and protect one another
for our collective growth and prosperity
Now, let’s connect on how great
District 3 is, and all that our County has to offer! Some friendly reminders and events coming up:
Remember
to dump out standing water on or near your properties, due to recent finding of aedes aegypti mosquitoes in the area. We
hope to see you at the Berryessa Annual Art Festival! Check out more information here.

ICYMI: Town Hall with Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren
On Friday,

Zoe Lofgren (CA D-18) to County chambers for a
Town Hall ,
dedicated to her District 18 constituents regarding all of the challenges coming
down from Washington D.C.
Congresswoman

back to her staff to address personally.
As she reminded
the audience, it’s time to “stand up, fight back, and I ’ll do it with you. 🗽

Black April: Remembering 50 Years Since the Fall of Saigon
On April 30,
we are commemorating a historic moment for Vietnamese and Vietnamese American individuals -- the
50 th anniversary of Black April .
This marks both a solemn and pivotal point in the history of Vietnam and its peoples .
On April 30,
1975, the fall of Saigon marked the end of the Vietnam War. While it was the end of the war, for millions of Vietn amese peoples, it was just
the beginning of greater conflict – lives torn apart, peoples uprooted, and a great exodus from the country.
This day symbolizes
loss and grief for many, but further demonstrates the pure resilience, courage, and spirit of the Vietnamese people 💝
Here in Santa
Clara County, we are proudly the home of over 140,000 Vietnamese Americans, the second-largest Vietnamese community in the United States. Viet namese Americans are
powerful advocates for freedom, democracy, and human rights, and we are so grateful to have so many amazing community members here to remind us of the importance of unity and strength.
On April 7 th , the D3 office joined Supervisor Duong and the District 2 team in raising the Vietnamese flag, symbolizing our commun ity’s Vietnamese Americans and the importance of this history. Take a look at that event,
and other memorable moments in which we commemorated this historic anniversary.

Wildfire Preparedness Day
As wildfire
season becomes more prolonged here in California, it is imperative that we prepare ourselv es, our familie and ou r properties appropriately 🔥 🧑🚒
On Saturday,
May 3, we’re taking part
in Wildfire
Community Preparedness Day ,
reminding people and organizations everywhere to take action in both raising awareness and reducing wildfire risks.
How can you
prepare? Here are some action items that you can do at home:
Regularly clear
debris from roofs, gutters, vents, and under decks. Store combustible items – such as firewood, propane tanks, and vehicles – at least 30 feet away from structures. Create a custom wildfire readiness plan, with the help of CAL Fire.
