Gold Rush Eatery’s food truck served up Linda’s Parisian Burgers at our BBQ.
President’s Message
By Candace Bowers
MVHA President
Dear Members:
It was great to see all of you who turned out for our
annual summer BBQ, featuring the famous Linda’s
Parisian burger. This year we did something different
and had Gold Rush Eatery, based at Sunken Gardens golf
course, bring their food truck and serve their version
of the Parisian burger. We understand that some of you
had to juggle both the BBQ and the Old Mountain View
Neighborhood Association ice cream social on the same
day; we’ll be sure not to overlap each other next time.
We are also repeating our Dia de los Muertos this year.
Our Board worked hard to put together this event last
year, in celebration of our city’s Mexican-American
heritage. I think we broke our record for attendance at
the Adobe building. We saw a lot of new faces, especially
young folks. Be ready to dance to the wonderful
mariachi band.
Another new tradition will be our Dia de los Muertos
altar in the Mountain View History Center. Here we will
display photos of our beloved ancestors and Mountain
View pioneers. We welcome your contributions of
your own family photos to honor their memories. You
may drop off photos at the Library any time before
November 1.
See you at the Adobe—
Candace
