Train exhibit at MSRV
The Museum of the San Ramon Valley is set to bring back one of its most popular attractions at the end of the month in the latest “Totally Trains” exhibit.
“This always engaging display will showcase a mesmerizing array of model trains, encompassing everything from enchanting steam locomotives to sleek modern diesels,” MSRV spokesperson John Keenan wrote in an announcement.
A major highlight of the annual exhibit is its “village scene”, which aims to showcase the look and feel of the early days of the San Ramon Valley and capture its past and present essence.
The exhibit debuts Saturday (June 24) and runs through Aug. 27. More information is available at museumsrv.org.
Cereal drive success
Officials with San Ramon Regional Medical Center have announced that a recent cereal drive at the hospital yielded more than 6,000 servings of donations.
From June 5 through June 12, community members were encouraged to donate healthy, whole grain cereal at the hospital for distribution to the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano.
“We understand the health issues children face from hunger and poor nutrition,” SRRMC CEO Warren Kirk said in an announcement on June 16. “Many households rely on food banks and other food programs to have access to the healthy meals they need to thrive.”
Cereal was sought as an easy, popular, and nutritious breakfast food, with the goal of addressing a gap in school meals for children facing hunger during the summer months.
“We recognize the importance of beginning each day with a nutritious breakfast and, through this drive, we are proud to help many in our community struggling with food insecurity,” Kirk said.
