Sculptra is favourite treatment of Rejuve Spa
Beauty clinic Rejuve Spa, based in Saratoga, California, has revealed one of its favourite facelift treatments, among the array of non-surgical options it provides, is Sculptra. The procedure, which subtly lifts and tightens skin, while at the same time stimulating collagen growth, has effects that can last for up to two years.

It’s summer in Saratoga, there’s a lot going on!

It seemed that everyone had a great time at this year’s Saratoga Rotary Art Show. The weather was perfect. The success of events, like the annual show, depends largely on sponsorships. This year’s Art Show major sponsors: Carol Burnett, Carol Mauldin, Anne Cummins and Ketan Jashapara of Alain Pinel’s Saratoga office, and Our Lady of Fatima Villa. Additional sponsors: Left Bend Winery, Conrado Home Builders, Saratoga Retirement Community, El Camino Hospital and Los Gatos Meadows. Thanks to these businesses that support our community in so many ways!

It’s spring and time for honeybees to swarm. They are more interested in their queen and honey than you, so don’t panic and help save the honeybees! Call the Santa Clara Bee Guild and they can remove the bees alive, rather than kill the swarm. beeguild.org/swarms.htm.

The 39th annual Great Race took place April 24 with 107 Saratogans (out of 1,300) entered. Did you know the run started in 1978 when Bill Glennon, then mayor of Saratoga, suggested a “great race” between the two communities and gave a prize for the city with the most entrants? This year’s honorary starter was Ashley Nelson, who you may remember was hit by a car in 2011 on Highway 9 at Fruitvale. She is one determined woman and ran the race in 29:27. Very impressive.
