Calendar

In September of 2010, Sacred Heart expanded its community outreach efforts by hosting its first carnival – an event open to anyone interested in having fun and enjoying good company. Successful from the start, the carnival is now held annually on the third weekend of October. The Sacred Heart Parish Carnival Committee is an energetic group of parishioners who organize, plan and implement this carnival. Anyone from our community is welcome to join this annual effort and experience the joy of helping create such a fun event.

Join the Saratoga Age Friendly Commission and the Saratoga Area Senior Center for West Valley Striders. This monthly walking group provides an opportunity to participate in low-impact exercise, enjoy the outdoors, engage in social activities, and learn about health, wellness, and the community. The group meets at West Valley College near the VTA bus stop in Parking Lot 3. Free Parking is available in Parking Lots 2 and 3. From 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., participants can choose between joining a 1-mile or 3-mile walk around the West Valley College Campus. At 11:00 a.m. participants will meet at the Kirkorian Pavilion to listen to the guest speaker until 12:00 p.m. This month, Dr. Fabrice Rockich will lead the Strong and Steady Active Workshop on improving strength, balance, and flexibility. From 12:00 p.m. to 12:30 p.m., the first 35 registrants can enjoy a complimentary lunch.

Bring your pirates, princesses, ghosts, and goblins to the annual Witchy Walk-A-Bout on Saturday, October 26 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. in the Saratoga Village to trick-or-treat at the downtown businesses. For more information, visit www.saratogavillage.info
