Sponsorships and donations were made by many supporters in the community from the labor, business, education and political arenas. Also in attendance were many members from the Chabot Las Positas Community College District, Chabot College and Las Positas College faculty, staff and administrators, and Trustee members. ALAMEDA COUNTY SUPERVISOR RICHARD VALLE SUPPORTS CHABOT COLLEGE EARTH WEEK The week of April 17-22, 2017, Chabot College held Earth Week events to Make a Green Difference. It was a week full of quality speakers, workshops, and activities. Supervisor Richard Valle helped sponsor event activities with a $4,000 contribution. Events included keynote presentations such as Valentin Lopez, Chairman of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band of the Ohlone Nation and Eric Holt-Giménez, Executive Director of Food First; lecture and panel presentations about the life of John Muir and water and land resource management; workshops on how to grow your own vegetables and fighting hunger in the community; film presentations and discussions; student poster exhibits and projects; a faculty and staff nature photo exhibit, and even a smoothie festival.

Earth Week 2018 has been set for April 16-18 so mark your calendars! Ms. Hernandez, intern from Supervisor Richard Valle’s Office, presents a check to The Friends of Chabot College Board of Directors. HOMECOMING PRE-GAME CARNIVAL On Saturday, October 28, 2017, the Chabot College Gladiators hosted Modesto Junior College at their Homecoming Game. Prior to the game we had a Homecoming Carnival featuring carnival rides, games, food, and a craft beer and wine garden. The weather was picture perfect as over 150 people attended the event. It was a family event with children and parents enjoying the rides and games. The Giant Slide was a big hit with everyone! Faculty, staff and community members basked in the sun at the Craft Beer and Wine Garden featuring Drakes and Buffalo Bill’s Beer and wine served by Chicano Latino Education Association (CLEA) and Friends of Chabot College volunteers. Yummy snacks like lumpia, homemade horchata, and empanadas were sold by Asian Pacific Islander Education Association (APIEA) and CLEA volunteers while Chabot Club volunteers worked the game booths. After the carnival, people headed towards the stands to cheer their Gladiators on. It was truly a collaborative event! Proceeds from this event supported Chabot Student Clubs, Chabot College Athletics, Chabot Alumni and Friends Association, CLEA and APIEA. Many thanks go to the Student Senate of Chabot College, Office of Student Life, Chabot Athletics, The Friends of Chabot College, M&O, Campus Safety, Facilities & Business Services and the Reprographics Team for organizing and supporting the event!
