Remembering Martinez Reunion Committee Gives Back

The reunion group provided donations to the Boys and Girls Club and the Martinez Historical Society.

The Remembering Martinez multi-decade reunion that pretty much took over downtown Martinez Aug. 17-19 was, by any measure, an unbridled success. The organizers put together a fantanstic weekend of get-togethers for people from near and far, many of whom hadn't seen each other in many years. A car cruise, a Main St. dance, and several meals were among the highlights of the event.

But it didn't end there. The committee that put the event together also manage to raise money for the Boys and Girls Club, and the Martinez Historical Society.

On Sept. 25, the reunion committee presented the Boys and Girls Club with a check for $10,000, and a check for $1,000 to the historical society.

"The committee continues to recognize and show gratitude to the generous event sponsors," according to a committee press release. "In addition to largely making the reunion possible, their support enabled monetary gifts to be made to these deserving organizations."

I am happy to know that Mr. Behan's review of "STID" is now available. Might we knowRead More where it is available? Perhaps I am just an Apple lovin' technopeasant, but despite my frantic serial clicking on text without links, I could not find the actual story. Alas and alack I may never know why there is no darkness in "...Into Darkness" (or Lightness). Oh, and welcome back Jim!

As long as there are meters downtown, let's make it as easy as possible to pay. I hate having toRead More dig around for change to feed a meter. Using a card is much more convenient.

There should be NO parking meters.

George, I think the meters are there to keep jurors from tying up all the parking not for revenue.Read More Martinez needs a parking garage for jurors but it might be difficult to pass a bond for one. Thing is, the last time I got a jury summons for Martinez it said I could just put the summons notice on the dashboard and park at a meter without putting money in it and no ticket would be issued. Unfortunately the court house is probably both a boon and a bane for growth downtown.
