Saratoga councilwoman Susie Nagpal dies of lung cancerPosted by: Robert McMahon in Village
The fact that Susie Vedantham Nagpal became the first Indian-American elected to the Saratoga City Council was an afterthought to her, said friends and relatives. “I don’t think she ran on that platform,” said her husband, Amit. “She ran on a platform of being a community contributor. And she wanted to make a difference.” Nagpal died early Thursday morning of lung cancer, exactly seven months after her diagnosis. She was 46.

Saratoga Village Lantern Walk, Saturday, October 3rd, 4-6 pmPosted by: Robert McMahon in Village
Moon cake tasting, lanterns and goody bags will be available at the check-in area at Blaney Plaza. Kids and their families will stroll along Big Basin Way with lanterns in their hands and visit the participating stores. Merchants will indicate their participation by hanging a big red lantern outside their stores, and they are expected to pass out treats (which can be non-edible items, e.g. coupons). To attract foot traffic, Chinese music, dance performances, and arts and craft demonstrations will be held at different spots along Big Basin Way. Instead of having ‘student ambassadors’ showing the way as in years past, visitors may take their own route and visit the stores at their own pace. They may enter a raffle draw after visiting a required number of stores at different locations. To enable the necessary planning, merchants and organizations interested in participating or who have questions should contact Emily Lo at emilylo@mplususa.com or 868.9982 no later than September 22. Merchants can reuse previous lanterns, or they can purchase a new one for $20 (while supply lasts). We look forward to your participation. Regards, Emily Lo, Alice Chiou, Katherine Tseng (Lantern Walk Co-chairs) |
