Crestmoor Scholarship Reminder and
January Board Meeting Announcement

2021 Crestmoor Scholarship Application Available Online
 
The application for the 2021 Crestmoor Neighborhood Memorial Scholarship is now available online. The application deadline is Tuesday, March 2, 2021, at 5:00 p.m.

​The Crestmoor Scholarship honors the community members who most directly endured the destruction of the 2010 gas pipeline explosion and resulting fire and especially in memory of the eight San Bruno residents who lost their lives in the disaster. The Foundation intends to distribute $190,000 in multi-year scholarships this spring, in part thanks to donations from the Joseph W Welch Jr Foundation and the San Mateo County Association of REALTORS® Foundation in support of the Crestmoor Scholarship. 
 
High school seniors headed to college and community college students planning to transfer to a four-year college in the fall of 2021 are eligible to apply. Applicants must live or attend a high school or community college located in San Bruno.
 
Scholarship recipients must demonstrate, as the top criterion, deep engagement and involvement in the San Bruno community. Other factors that will be considered during the selection process include, in no particular order, an applicant's financial need, extracurricular activities, academic record, and examples of leadership, teamwork, and collaboration. ​

GOVERNOR’S EXECUTIVE ORDER N-25-20****
CORONAVIRUS COVID-19
AND SAN MATEO COUNTY HEALTH DIRECTIVE
FROM MARCH 14, 2020
 
On March 17, 2020, the Governor of California issued Executive Order N-29-20 suspending certain provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act in order to allow for local legislative bodies to conduct their meetings telephonically or by other electronic means. Pursuant to the current Shelter-In-Place Order issued by the San Mateo County Health Officer which became effective on March 17, 2020, and which was updated and extended on April 29, 2020; the statewide Shelter-In-Place Order issued by the Governor in Executive Order N-33-20 on March 19, 2020; and the CDC’s social distancing guidelines which discourage large public gatherings, the San Bruno Senior Center is no longer open to the public for meetings of the San Bruno Community Foundation Board of Directors. 
 
If you would like to make a Public Comment on an item not on the agenda, or comment on a particular agenda item, please email us at info@sbcf.org. The length of all emailed comments should be commensurate with the three minutes customarily allowed per speaker, which is approximately 300 words total. Emails received before the special or regular meeting start time will be forwarded to the Foundation Board of Directors and will become part of the public record for that meeting. If emailed comments are received after the meeting start time, or after the meeting ends, they will be forwarded to the Foundation Board of Directors and filed with the agenda packet becoming part of the public record for that meeting.
