The Santa Teresa Foothills Neighborhood Association was formed in 2000
to address community issues in the south San Jose area generally
bounded by Santa Teresa Boulevard on the north and the Santa Teresa
Foothills on the south (see map below). Although we are willing to work
on any issue which affects our neighborhoods, we have initially
identified the following priorities:
- Preservation of the Santa Teresa Foothills
- Creation of a public trail along the Coyote-Alamitos Canal between Santa Teresa County Park and Lake Almaden Park
- Public Education and Awareness
- Safe Neighborhoods
- Hillside Development Enforcement
The Association consists of over 500 members at the present time. Our Board of Directors are:
Matt Freeman - President
John Hesler - Vice President
John Cunningham - Secretary
Lynne Paulson - Recording Secretary
Rick Mandel - Treasurer
Forrest Williams - Director
Nancy Pyle - Director
Ash Kalra - Director
Christine Kukielka - Director
Eleanor Bossa - Director
Danielle Spreier - Webmaster
Mike Bosworth - Legal Advisor
The Santa Teresa Foothills Neighborhood Association has adopted a set of
Bylaws to govern the Association.
We invite you to join our Association if you are
in the area shown above. We also need volunteers to participate in our
committees and to help us in our endeavors. Please fill out a membership form and join us.
Whether or not you become a member of the
Association, your input concerning our priority areas is needed and
welcome, and we encourage you send us an e-mail, fill out our feedback form,
or write us a letter with your ideas and comments. You are also welcome
to volunteer whenever we need help with a community project and you are
welcome to attend our open Association meetings. Visit our site for
details about these functions, and come back often because there's
always something new afoot.
