Here are opportunities you don't want to miss in Watsonville.

We all do it. Forget to mark our calendars for upcoming soccer league sign-ups, prom tickets or local business expos. There are so many events and opportunities in Watsonville that is can be hard to keep tabs on them all.

Fortunately, Patch is here to help track some of those important deadlines. The following is a list of deadlines coming up. Take a look before it's your last chance!

COMMUNITY

Today, Tuesday, April 24, is the last chance to nominate a resident of Capitola-Soquel for the prestigious Presidential Citizens Medal. This can be someone who volunteers to make their community a better place, or someone who goes above and beyond their regular call of duty to make the world a better place. In 2011, three of the 12 nationwide selectees.

SCHOOLS

Registration for Cabrillo College’s summer session began on April 24. While there is not currently an enrollment deadline, many courses fill up fast, so enroll now!

There are about 10 scholarships for local high school students with deadlines coming up at the end of April. Pajaro Valley High students can check out the list on the school's website HERE. Watsonville High students can go HERE to see a list and Aptos High students should look at their financial aid options HERE.

David, ( and anyone else who cares to know facts rather than assumption) : Daniel Dodge had nothingRead More to do with this flier. The people responsible for this flier are in fact, against not only him, but against every other city council member in regards to the budget and proposed 'cuts' to the same (According to the same flier, Nancy B might be the one exception). Interesting enough is also the fact that nowhere on the flier is there the slightest hint as to who IS responsible. I have read enough of the comments in the Patch to know that many of us feel like "Hey, if you can't even use your real name on things you write, we have to question, who are you REALLY? Some lost chicken feeding on whatever trash you happen by?" If it were Daniel DOdge's idea, why not put his face and number on EVERY flier, rather than just those meant for his district? (BTW, the woman who was passing these out apparently didn't know where the district boundary was, as she gave ME a flier with DD as my councilman, and I'm not in his district. Can you say OOPS?) In any case, my best guess at the moment is SEIU. IF you're at all interested you might try following up in that direction. Cheers! And remember, Measure T is a separate issue.
David H. Perez May 24, 2013 at 09:35 pm
True, Sylvia. It does not make sense that this would be initiated by Dodge if he is pro-labor. LetRead More me know if you become aware of any other facts. The investigation continues . . .

No problem David. I have a flier in front of me here....my best 'guess',and I do stress 'guess',Read More based on what I heard one of the 2 women say to me (who were handing these out and/ or leaving them on doorsteps or doors), and 2- I read the flier several times...... I would look 1st of all to the SEIU.....the flier is targeting budget cuts etc.; this particular flier, at least the one I have starts out, "While our services are at risk..". Measure T is a separate issue from this flier. Also David, you'll notice, or in checking, you'll in all likelihood, find that the fliers in each district have the faces and so-called ph numbers of that district's council member. I say so-called because all it is is the office voicemail, as sweetcakes previously referred to. In any case, it's good to check things out before plunging headlong into something that could prove embarrassing :) <--special note for sweetcakes :)

I used my yes on T flier to line the birdcage. It pissed my parrot off so much, he bit me!
Cathy P. May 22, 2013 at 05:11 pm
We got one too sweetcakes (some caring person actually tucked it into my door handle so it wouldn'tRead More blow away) even though I have a "No on T" sign in my yard. The "Yes on T" is all lies anyway so it went right into my recycle bin. Perhaps it was just coincidence but they came while we were at the City Council meeting last night. Go figure.
