We are pleased to report that Greg Zlotnick, our elected representative to the Board of Directors of the Santa Clara Valley Water District, has confirmed the appointment of Jeffrey Shore, an active member of the D/SFNA, to serve on one of the Board's five Flood Control Advisory Committees. The Northwest Zone (aka the Southern Peninsula Watershed) includes the San Francisquito Creek, Adobe Creek, Permanente Creek and Matadero Creek. The Northwest Flood Control Zone Advisory Committee makes recommendations relative to the District's priorities and financing policies for flood control improvements within the Northwest Zone.

On May 26, 1998, the Duveneck Neighborhood Association (DNA) and the St. Francis Neighborhood Association (SFNA) merged to form the Duveneck/St. Francis Neighborhood Association (D/SFNA), representing the majority of Palo Alto homes that were flooded in February, 1998.
