Sunnyhills Community Breakfast @ San Jose City College Extension
Tickets
Jan 11 @ 8:00 am

The topics for Sunnyhills Community Breakfasts have already been set and you are invited to join us on Saturday, January 11 at 8am for coffee or tea, a light breakfast, and a slice of democracy at the San Jose City College Extension on Escuela Parkway.

January’s meeting (a week later than usual due to the holidays) will be an Assembly District 25 Candidates Forum. Come find out who is running, why, and what they’d do for you in Sacramento. The Democratic primary is in March, so this is a timely opportunity to learn more about the candidates. The Milpitas Beat will co-sponsor and facilitate for us.

Our monthly breakfast is free and open to all. Donations are gratefully accepted. Please join us!

Join us for coffee, tea, and a light breakfast at 8:00 AM in classroom 3 at the San Jose City College Extension, 1450 Escuela Parkway, Milpitas (just South of Russell Middle School).
