Museum buzz
Bees and those who keep them are featured this summer in an exhibit at the Cupertino Historical Museum. The exhibit showcases different types of bees, see some real hives (no live bees), a honey extractor and items on display loaned by beekeepers Jack Carter and Deb Conway, Cupertino Rotarian Alysa Sakkas and the Honey Bee Ladies of Campbell.
The museum is located in the Quinlan Community Center at 10185 N. Stelling Road. Hours are Wednesday-Friday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
Open seat for open space
The Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority has an opening on its Expenditure Plan Oversight Committee (EPOC).
Members of the EPOC are volunteers who reside within the authority’s working area and review the use of all public funds collected via Measure Q and Measure T. The authority’s revenues are principally derived from Measure Q, a $24 parcel tax approved by voters in 2014 and extended as Measure T in 2020 without increase. Andrea Mackenzie, the authority’s general manager said in a release that the seven-member EPOC “plays a key role in ensuring transparent use of Measure Q and T funds.”
“The EPOC plays a crucial role in honoring the trust placed in us by taxpayers, who strongly supported Measure T in 2020 knowing that public oversight would be part of the process,” added Mackenzie. “This committee’s work is a direct reflection of our commitment to fulfilling that promise to the voters.”
Once selected, EPOC members meet up to four times a year and serve four-year terms. To apply, visit https://bit.ly/43WTzoK.
