The next meeting of the Old Mountain View Neighborhood Association will be held Monday, Sept 28, 2026, from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM via Zoom.
The proposed agenda for the September 28 OMVNA Steering Committee Meeting follows. You can also propose additional items by responding to this email before September 25, or at the beginning of the meeting, The link to join the meeting by Zoom is provided below.
September 26 is the Emergency Preparedness Fair at Fairmont Park, comer of Fairmont Avenue and Bush Street, from 10 to noon. Even if you’ve been to one of these before, it’s worth stopping by. There will be activities for kids and an icy treat. They’ll have demonstration tables showing useful gear to keep on hand. You’ll see examples of a Go Bag and Stay Box – what to pack if you have to leave fast versus what to have ready if you need to shelter in place. There’s also solid info on water and food storage, including how much you need and how long it lasts. You can join in and practice the classic “drop, cover, hold” earthquake drill too.
Earthquake Drills & Raffle
Stay for the raffle. One practical prize is a portable toilet. After a big earthquake, toilets stop working. Having a simple backup is something most people never think about until they need it. If you can’t make it to the fair, you can still run your own emergency drill at home. Check out www. shakeout.org/centralus/dropcoverholdon The fair is a good reminder that preparedness doesn’t have to be complicated. A few basic systems and a little practice go further than most people expect.•

To all Old Mountain View residents, property owners, and other interested parties,
The Old Mountain View Neighborhood Association will hold a special Zoom meeting on Monday, September 14, 7:30PM-8:30PM. We will be joined by guest speakers Mountain View Economic Vitality Manager Amanda Rotella and Community Development Director Christian Murdock. The topic will be The Economic Vitality of our Downtown.
Ms. Rotella and Mr. Murdock will start with a presentation. After that, there will be time for questions and answers.
I would say… not too hot, not too cold. Never run out of ice cream and toppings for miles!
Absolutely delightful music and firemen too.
The Old MV ice cream social always has a little something extra. We had lawn games, creativity areas, loads of interesting exhibitors, (see below for a list), Baskin Robbins ice cream, toppings courtesy of Landels PTA and music by a neighborhood band – The Splitz.
Thank you volunteers and neighbors for showing up. It all added up to hoards of neighbors with ice cream dripping down their smiling faces.
If you would like to help design, implement or volunteer at future events, please contact the Eventors social@omvna.org. Events happen because at least 1 person has a passion to make it so!
Building community engagement, one event at a time.
