Sending holiday spirit to troops overseas
Holiday packages prepared at a recent Pleasanton Military Families pack-out event, led by volunteers including Kathy Skelton whose son is stationed abroad, made their way to American service members overseas complete with care items and personalized cards from Pleasanton students.
See you on Jan. 5
This Friday’s paper will be the final Pleasanton Weekly print edition of 2023, as we opted for a larger special issue with our Year in Review this week and take a break from the newspaper production between Christmas and New Year’s Day.
Our print paper will be back as usual on Jan. 5.
The news coverage won’t stop in the interim, however. Our journalists will be hard at work reporting articles online over the next week. Visit PleasantonWeekly.com to see all of the big stories, and we will see you again in print in 2024. Happy Holidays!
Spread Cheer with Beer
Visit Tri-Valley has brought back its Spread Cheer with Beer campaign to encourage residents and visitors in Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin and Danville to sample suds for charity this holiday season.
Continuing through Jan. 2, the program will reward people who go to 10 or more participating breweries, alehouses and taprooms along the Tri-Valley Beer Trail with a $20 donation to the local nonprofit of their choice. A limited-edition Pom Pom Beanie is also being handed out, while supplies last.
“We had such a great response to this campaign last year, we knew we had to bring it back this year,” said Robin Fahr, VP of marketing at Visit Tri-Valley. “It’s a perfect way for locals and visitors to get in the holiday spirit, explore great stops along the Tri-Valley Beer Trail while raising funds for a local charity. Everyone wins in the season of giving.”
