I had the privilege of going to a memorial for my friend and neighbor, Satish “Sam” Chohan. I knew he was a terrific person, but to hear about his life journey and how beloved he was by his family, son-in-law, stepdaughter, etc., was so amazing to hear. What a wonderful influence, and how nice to also have my friend Larry speak at Satish’s funeral, as they have been so involved with the Toastmasters group here in the area. Satish and his amazing wife Surekha approached me at a neighborhood event several years ago. I was thrilled when Satish asked to join the Glen Cove Community Association with me. I was president at the time. He was full of so many enriching ideas; most notably among them were the benches along our main thoroughfare with amazing views of the water. I’m so glad he lived long enough to see that come to fruition. We will honor him with that wonderful idea.

Spring GCCA Community Meeting
Community Board Kudos from GCCA
Some of you know that I recently stepped down as volunteer President of the Glen Cove Community Association after four years in that position, especially as I’ve recently stepped up to volunteer as president of the Humane Society of the North Bay.
This message was left on the community board in Glen Cove Center, which is so sweet! I was so honored to be involved with GCCA, and I will continue to be deeply involved with this terrific group of neighbors who do so much behind the scenes for our neighborhood and the city of Vallejo, which I love!
Glen Cove Community Association Holiday Party 2025
Autumn Glen Cove Community Association Meeting
Here are some photos of the fancy new and terrain versatile fire truck for Glen Cove’s Fire Station #26 that Glen Cove Community Association worked hard to make sure was reopened several years ago. I wasn’t able to get out of the meeting last night myself to see the truck, so I appreciate our Board Secretary, Pat, for taking these when they brought it to Glen Cove Elementary, where we hold our community meetings every Spring and Autumn.
Vallejo National Night Out 2025
Friend’s Book Signing
My friend and neighbor, Satish (Sam) Chohan, published a book called “Trojan Horse – Democracy Hijacked.” We got our copy at his book signing at the local JFK Library here in Vallejo. He’s on the Board of Glen Cove Community Association with me. I’m so proud to know him and volunteer with him as he and his lovely physician wife always have great ideas for our community!
Glen Cove Community Association’s Spring 2025 Meeting
GCCA hosted another successful community meeting, which focused on safety. We had the wonderful IHART program representatives explain what they are doing for our city, including outreach, with the hopes that the program expands. We also had the Deputy Police Chief speak for a while on updates for the understaffed Vallejo Police Department.
We had the honor of the mayor of Vallejo, Andrea Sorce, and the President of the Vallejo City Unified School District, John Fox, speak at the event, as well as representatives from the Cultivate Community Food Cooperative and a representative from SolTrans about the bus routes that are very likely going to be changed, including the 8 line which comes through Glen Cove.
Our microphones lasted right until the last few minutes. Thanks go to Shea for recording this session so that we could live stream it on Facebook and then save the recording here.
Glen Cove Community Association Holiday Potluck Party 2024
Volunteer Glen Cove Community Association Board had a wonderful potluck holiday party at the gorgeous home of Lisa and Kirk, who were wonderful hosts.
End of Summer Glen Cove Waterfront Event 2024
I attended as president of Glen Cove Community Association a second annual End of Summer event at Glen Cove Waterfront Park here in Vallejo. Our board worked very hard to put this together. The turnout was decent even though the weather was unusually hot for October. That may have affected turnout, but we had more to offer this year with the jumpy house for kids, lots of games, free wine for adults, a food truck, and live music courtesy of Mike and Tonya from Tara Hills. Under the shade of the eucalyptus trees, it was pleasant with a breeze, but still a hot one.
Videos include the Faceboook Live Streams and personal video we took at the event:
