Mayor Reed, Council to present State of the City Address and
Good Neighbor Awards at $20-a-plate community breakfast

Mayor Chuck Reed and the San Jose City Council invite the general public to a community breakfast, Wednesday, March 7, at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center to recognize the outstanding work of community leaders and hear the mayor’s 2007 State of the City Address.

The event will include the Good Neighbor Awards for local community leaders nominated by their council members and the Pride of San Jose Awards for outstanding city employees. The return of the community breakfast format is intended to give everyone a chance to celebrate San Jose and show their interest and support for the city.

“Our community leaders invest enormous amounts of time and energy to make a difference in San Jose,” said Mayor Reed. “We want to take this opportunity to thank them and recognize their dedication.”

Doors to the community breakfast will open at 7:30 a.m. and breakfast will be served at 7:45 a.m. in Exhibit Hall 3 at the Convention Center, 400 Almaden Blvd. To cover the cost of breakfast, tickets are $20 per person or $200 for a table.
