 a forgotten piece of Fremont history

Established in 1865 by John Rock and relocated to Niles in 1884, California Nursery became the largest retail nursery west of the Rockies. Trees from the nursery landscaped the 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco and the 1939 World’s Fair on Treasure Island.

John Rock developed new methods of plant propagation and worked with renowned botanist, Luther Burbank. George C. Roeding purchased the nursery in 1917, and three generations of the Roeding family continued to innovate and develop California horticulture.

Joyce Blueford of the Math/Science Nucleus is organizing over 100 year’s records and artifacts from California Nursery. Hear about the discoveries she has made and learn how you can help the Math/Science Nucleus, the City of Fremont, and the CalNurCo Legacy Council turn the park into a lasting monument.

SOCIAL SECURITY AND RETIREMENT INCOME

INVESTMENT SOLUTIONS FOR A SMALL PLANET 

 
You are invited to attend a series of investment seminars by Gary Bladen and Toby Cooper from Merrill Lynch.

This second seminar will be on Social Security and Retirement Income.

In their own words: our series of investment seminars are inspired by the 1971 book "Diet For A Small Planet", by Francis Moore Lappe, in which she advances the thesis that our everyday choices have lasting impacts on Planet Earth. We could not agree more. In fact, our investment decisions can have an even more widespread and lasting impact on environmental and social quality. In this series, we will explore investment solutions that help in the achievement of both financial goals and benefits for the planet.

This free Seminar is sponsored by the Fremont Chamber of Commerce and the Alameda County Library.
