Projects benefit from League
The Junior League of San Jose approved
$64,058 in funding for four local community
projects, two of which will assist children
in the Campbell Union School District (CUSD).
League volunteers will work with CUSD
students in the Big Brothers Big Sisters
school-based mentoring project, meeting with
students on a weekly basis after school to
help the children focus on life skills and to
assist with arts and crafts. Members will
also work with CUSD students through the
Junior Achievement program, which focuses on
career awareness and helping children develop
a plan for the future.

City Council plans its citywide garage sale
for October 12
The Campbell City Council on June 4 approved
a citywide community garage sale, to be held
in conjunction with Campbell's annual
cleanup.
The first garage sale is scheduled for
October 12 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The next
day, a contracted charitable organization
will pick up all items left on the curb,
which will be used for resale. During the
following week, Green Valley Disposal will
pick up all unclaimed sale items.
The citywide cleanup, which is usually held
in April, will be moved to October, and will
give residents an extra opportunity in 2002
to get rid of unwanted trash.
The city anticipates that at least 200
households will participate in the event.
Green Valley Disposal will include inserts
with its billing notice to alert customers of
the event. The city plans to display banners
downtown announcing the event, and the
Campbell Union High School District will be
sending flyers home with students.
In other news, the city council accepted
$18,000 in donations from the Campbell
Historical Museum and Ainsley House
Foundation for the support of the Ainsley
House and Campbell Historical museums. The
donation was presented by Foundation
president Norm Tanaka, and will be placed
into the Museum Trust account by the city of
Campbell. The donation will be applied toward
the operating expenses of the museum for the
2001-02 fiscal year, and it will reduce the
amount of funds needed from the city's
general fund.

Foundation president Lloyd Bass estimates the
event netted $8,000. The proceeds were added
to the foundation's total funds, with $5,000
being applied toward the foundation's

in the district at the beginning of the
school year. A portion of the funds are also
applied toward the foundation's operating
expenses.
