Diablo Audubon Society's Response To The COVID-19 Pandemic In light of the Stay-at-Home Order instituted for the State of California, Mt. Diablo Audubon Society has canceled all field trips and meetings from March 17 through April 7, and the May monthly program. If the timing of this order changes, we will reassess the situation and send another message. Please check our website and our Facebook page for updates. While we are disappointed to not be able to share our love of birds with you all through our field trips and meetings, we are going to spend this time getting to know our local birds. Here are some tips from the National Audubon on how to enjoy backyard birds. Stay safe and well and we look forward to hearing about all your cool backyard birds later this year! Presidents' Letter Maren Smith & Ariana Rickard, MDAS Co-Presidents These are unprecedented times, and by the time this newsletter reaches your inbox, there may be more closures, precautions, and safeguards in place. The MDAS Board voted to cancel the April meeting due to guidelines available at that time, but in short time, with the State of California Stay-at-Home Order and CDC recommendations, we have also canceled the May monthly program and all field trips through April 7. Any MDAS news will be posted on the website at www. mtdiablo audubon .org, on MDAS social media, through Mailchimp emails, and in The Quail.

    Merry Monlux From: Kyoko Tanno-Lim Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2019 5:06 PM To: Lily Mei Cc: CClerk Subject: OPPOSE Hundal Subdivision - 45089 Cougar Circle, Fremont CA Dear Mayor Mei, I am writing to OPPOSE the Hundal Subdivision located at 45089 Cougar Circle in the Vineyard Hills neighborhood of Fremont. I live in the neighborhood and sincerely appreciate Fremont’s Staff Planners for rejecting the Hundal Subdivision development. We are original owners of our home at e, Fremont and have been residents for over 30 years. We have seen many changes over those years. I understand that some change is needed, however, it is sad to see the wildlife once more prevalent and the open spaces in our neighborhood being desecrated. We hope the Fremont City Council will deny the proposed destruction of open space in this rural area near Mission Peak that serves the city and region with scenic beauty for recreation and the conservation of natural resources. Thank‐you, Kyoko Tanno‐Lim Fremont, CA. 94539 1 Merry Monlux From: Kyoko Tanno-Lim Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2019 11:31 PM To: Rick Jones - Councilmember Cc: CClerk Subject: OPPOSE Hundal Subdivision - 45089 Cougar Circle, Fremont CA Dear Mr. Jones, It was a pleasure to meet and speak with you this week. Thank you again for carving out time for us. As we discussed, I am writing to express my strong OPPOSITION to the proposed Hundal Subdivision in Vineyard Hills, adjacent to Mission Peak in Fremont. Additionally, I am opposed to subdivisions of other lots that are covered under open‐space easements.
