Community events are any opportunity for the residents of the neighborhood to meet with their Block Leader and their neighbors. This can be a large event, such as a Block Party with a City permit or a neighborhood beautification day, or a smaller event, like a backyard meeting about a neighborhood concern or meet up at a local business or park.
To coordinate specific activities or guests for an event, contact the Program Coordinator at MartaD@cupertino.gov
