OMVNA Newsletter carriers: Thank You
by Lorraine Wormald
Where would the OMVNA Lamppost newsletter be without the dedication of so many
volunteers who tirelessly deliver door-to-door? This month we offer a huge Thank You
and goodbye to some of the most wonderful newsletter team members.
You will be so missed! I don’t know the exact numbers but these wonderful people
have each volunteered for 25 – 30 years!
- Don and Gretchen McPhail : Castro St businesses & downtown routes
- Lydia and Paul Sherrill: Delivering bundles to carriers & own route
- Linda & Greg Kannall: Delivering bundles to carriers. Happily, they will continue to
deliver their own route - June Casey retired in 2023
- Eric and Lisa Windes retired in 2022
Our neighborhood newsletter has been published since approximately 1998 (OMVNA
was formally established in 1992). It has about 60 routes faithfully staffed by so many.
Other approximate “30-year veterans” who are still out there pounding the pavement
are Bruce Karney, Brad & Kathy Bettman, and Russ & Jennifer Parman. And then there
are the 10-20 year veterans! Thank you, thank you.
If you are interested in being part of our illustrious team, please contact Lorraine
Wormald, Newsletter Delivery: delivery@omvna.org . We can always use more people! I
check each quarter to verify who is available—we all take vacations or have illnesses. •

Speak out on Senate Bill 79 (SB79) now!
Senate Bill (SB79), if passed, will have a major impact on our Old Mountain View neighborhood. 5-14 story buildings would be permitted BY RIGHT (no city council opposition allowed in the impact zones shown on the sign below). These impact zones include our historic retail district on the 100-300 blocks of Castro Street.
Call Senator Josh Becker at (916)-651-4013 and Assemblymember Marc Berman at (650)-324-0224 and say “I live in your district and I (OPPOSE/SUPPORT) SB79.”
Or write a short note with the title “(OPPOSE/SUPPORT) SB79” to Senator Becker at https://sd13.senate.ca.gov/contact and Assemblymember Berman at https://a23.asmdc.org/contact.
The deciding votes on SB79 are expected by September 12, 2025, although they could be taken any time now before then. Make your view known while there is still time!
