As we start to wrap up October and heading into the Holiday season we have several things going on in Shadow Brook.

Our Fall Homeowners Meeting will take place on Sunday November 8 at 4:00 p.m.  As with all meetings lately it will be a Zoom meeting and all Homeowners are invited to join in.  The Agenda and Zoom access will be posted here about a week before the meeting.  So put this on your calendar and join in.

Wednesday Night Social – Food Trucks

Our first Wednesday Night Social Food Truck event on October 14 was a great success and the trucks did very well.  The food trucks really appreciated your support.  Thus we are anxious to have another Food Truck event before Winter and Standard Time return.  Come out for our final Food Truck event of the year on Wednesday October 28.  We have four wonderful Food Trucks coming to Shadow Brook for this event.

They are all in compliance with the Santa Clara County Public Health Social Distance Protocol Home Page – Social Distancing Protocol Search

The year 2020 certainly has been different and in keeping with CDC guidelines and being safe, Halloween will also be different.  We recommend rather than going door to door Trick-Or-Treating that you lay pre-wrapped treats on a table in your driveway.  And Trick-or-Treaters should not ring doorbells or knock on doors.  Any house participating will have a table setup in the driveway.  Happy Halloween!

This is the third year of the Shadow Brook tradition of placing a Charlie Brown neighborhood holiday tree in front yards all around Shadow Brook.  We had more than 100 trees ordered and put in place last year and looking to add more homes to the tradition this year.

Also, the Red Bow Brigade, now in its fifth year, is looking for volunteers to help place large Red Bows throughout Shadow Brook.

For more information and your tree order form check out Red Bow Brigade and Holiday Trees and light up the neighborhood.  We all need a festive holiday season this year!

We are pleased with the success we have had with the SignUpGenius and the use of the pool (not counting the endless days of closure due to air quality).  Many have been using the pool.  Effective  September 28 we have now added more lanes for swimming, more hours to swim and extended the swim season to November 29.

Please visit The Pool tab in the website to access your SignUpGenius and view the presentation outlining these changes to our swim times at the pool.

Due to the continuing air quality problems due to the many fires surrounding us, we are constantly monitoring the air quality at the pool directly.  If the air quality index exceeds 150 or is trending towards 150 we will not open the pool.  We apologize for the situation where we have to close the pool at time, but the safety of our lifeguards and our members are our top priority.  You can check the pool Air Quality Index at any time via the link provided on The Pool page.
