Staff Lot A Closes

Alternative Transportation Is Your Best Bet

Life as we know it — or at least our commute to and from work — will change considerably in late fall because of Measure E construction and renovation. Our staff parking sticker will no longer guarantee a convenient parking space on campus.

Consider leaving your car at home. Join a car pool, ride the bus, walk to work or take the No Fuss Bus. The free shuttle service begins operation Dec. 1 from Vallco Fashion Park and will run every 15 minutes from 7 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Faculty and staff can guarantee themselves a parking space in the Flint Center parking structure when they arrange a car pool with at least one other person. Check out www.rides.org or post a note on the car pool bulletin board in the hallway near the Mail Room in the Administration Building.

Most of Staff Lot A will close for the construction of the Student and Community Services Building although limited staff and disabled parking will be available there. Parking Lot C will close Dec. 1 for the construction of a second parking structure on campus. Until June 2004, staff and disabled parking will be available in Compact Lot C with a limited amount of staff parking at the southern end of Lot C.

There is some good news down the road. Once the new parking structure is finished in about nine months, more parking spaces will be available than ever before.

Buy Your Admission Ticket in Advance

Holiday Luncheon Features Turkey and Lots of Prizes

To attend the faculty and staff holiday party on Dec. 3, you’ll need to purchase a $5 admission ticket in advance. You’ll receive a lot for your money: turkey with all the trimmings and a chance to win donated door prizes worth approximately $1,000.

The Wednesday luncheon will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Conference Rooms A and B. It will feature staff entertainment, singing and fun. Vegetarian meals will be available that day.

Faculty and staff must be present to win door prizes from these sponsors. Here is a sampling of what you can win:

• Two luxury club seats for a San Jose Sharks game valued at $186 (Southwest Airlines)
• Two nights for two at Lake Tahoe valued at $150 (San Jose Mercury News)
• One night for two worth $140 (Hotel Valencia Santana Row)
• Two admissions with a value of $98 (Great America)
• Brunch for two worth $60 (the Hayes Mansion)

Advance tickets are now on sale in the Administration Building in the offices of the college president and vice presidents. On the day of the party, you’ll have the chance to donate cash and/or canned food at the door for Cupertino Community Services, Second Harvest and other needy organizations.
