So This Happened…Week of Sept. 26 through Oct. 2, 2022
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CA (Oct. 2, 2022) — Despite a fire at its Walnut Creek office, Meals on Wheels Diablo Region didn’t miss a beat – continuing to provide meals for those in need.
“Meals are prepared and packaged at an off-site kitchen,” said executive director Caitlin Sly. “Our volunteers will pick up meals at our other pick-up sites around the county. We can ensure that all clients will receive their meals.”
The future of transportation: U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg toured Concord’s GoMentum Station, a site that tests transportation technology. “The facility represents the vision for tomorrow’s transportation innovations that will change the world,” said Concord City Councilmember Tim McGallian.
Election update: If you missed the candidate forum for the Concord City Council race, you can catch up on YouTube. Meanwhile, Clayton residents can hear from council candidates at an Oct. 10 event that will also focus on the state propositions. Or, you can read the Pioneer’s analysis of the ballot measures.
