Lovely to talk walks in and around our neighborhood and see flowering bushes and trees this time of year. It’s the little things that matter sometimes, if one can just slow down and put down our phones and take in what’s around us. Speaking of what’s around us, Jim DEBORAH LUDLOW STEVENS Hammock, owner of Nerd Crossing has given so much of himself to help enrich the lives of children in our community. Read the full story on pages 40-41. What an inspiration he is! Have a wonderful month! Deborah Inside this month’s issue is our Spotlight on Hercules! Hercules always has interesting places, people and things happening. We also want to welcome the newly formed Bay Front Chamber. The Bay Front Chamber consists of the former Hercules, Pinole and Rodeo Chambers. As one entity, they can better serve the needs of our business community and we look forward to our partnership with them. JULIA SMITH Also inside this issue, Jojo Soriano of Century 21 recently did an interview with Vicky Bautista, President of Fil-Ams Contra Costa County (FACCC) that we would like to share with you. Myrna de Vera, Mayor of Hercules is also an integral part of this organization so we thought we’d add this feature into the Spotlight on Hercules. Happy reading!
