One highlight of the August edition will be the “Porsches on Main” event from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, where more than 100 of the luxury cars will line Main Street for viewing.
The Porsche Livermore dealership will also collect school supplies and clothing donations that day to support Pleasanton students in need.

Quarry Lane arts center review
Dublin city officials are holding two community meetings next week to provide residents with details and solicit feedback about the proposed Quarry Lane School Performing Arts Center project, which aims to build a 13,800-square-foot facility and 126 new parking spaces at the southern end of the school property at 6237 Tassajara Road.

DUI checkpoint in Livermore
The California Highway Patrol’s Dublin office and the Livermore Police Department are partnering on a sobriety checkpoint at a currently undisclosed location within Livermore city limits this Friday night.
“A key objective of the checkpoint is to reduce the number of drinking drivers on the road, rather than produce dramatic increases in DUI arrests. Roadways with established DUI problems are targeted for checkpoints. Publicity is essential to the program,” CHP officials said.
The checkpoint will operate from 9 p.m. Friday (Aug. 4) to 2 a.m. Saturday (Aug. 5). The specific location will be revealed two hours before the checkpoint starts.
The program funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
