Annual Events

The MODA Board and other volunteers have been organizing events for residents for many years. The Annual picnic dates back to the 60s, and newer events have been added since then—all in an effort to build a sense of community.

The Neighborhood Yard Sale was added in 2018—in that spirit. More than 20 homeowners participated, and there were 5 lemonade/cookie stands run by youngsters and their parents.  At the annual meeting, it was voted to continue this activity.

This year, a fun run, the Thanksgiving Turkey Trot will take place Thanksgiving morning. The course will wind through Menlo Oaks. Runners, walkers, dog walkers and stroller pushers are all invited to get a little exercise in before settling down to Thanksgiving dinners.

Let us know if you have an activity we should undertake.

These are the upcoming event dates for 2020:

June 7 — Annual Picnic (canceled this year)
Due too the uncertainty of an end date for sheltering-in-place, the MODA Board is regretfully canceling our Annual Picnic for 2020.  The remainder of the neighborhood events will be reviewed to determine if they can be held in accordance with San Mateo County Health Officer Statements. “People at all levels of risk should know, if they venture out, and interact with others outside of their households, that they have a chance of getting infected and passing the virus on to their household members.”
