Editor’s note

Welcome to the 16th annual Info Menlo resource guide, published by

The Almanac.

This book contains a treasure trove of useful information on everything

from schools and parks to health clinics and senior services.

This book provides contact information for public services such as

police, libraries and fi re departments for each of the four municipalities

it covers — Atherton, Menlo Park, Portola Valley and Woodside.

Sections include the arts, community services, outdoors and

recreation, activities for children, schools and government services.

Much more information is available online, at www.AlmanacNews.com

under “Community resources.”

Extensive information online is also available about our surrounding

communities, including Stanford, Palo Alto and Mountain View.

Our cover photo this year — Tour de Menlo participants in the 65-

mile course racing down Cañada Road with a view of Crystal Springs

Reservoir — was shot by Almanac Photographer Michelle Le.

If you have suggestions for next year’s Info Menlo, please send email to

[email protected] or [email protected].
