Stay In Touch with the Chapter

Stay in Touch!

Our chapter has a rich variety of activities scheduled year-round. Most of our Chapter activities are listed in the Blazing Star Newsletter, but some late-breaking events don't make it into the newsletter and are announced electronically. Stay informed by making sure that your contact information is correct. 

Activities will be announced on our Chapter News list, our Facebook page and Meetup. Two things you can do to make sure you don’t miss anything are:

Chapter news list

The Santa Clara Valley Chapter emails announcements about upcoming events (talks, hikes, sales, wildflower show, garden tour), alerts, last-minute notices and latebreaking news. Events that are scheduled after the Blazing Star is published are announced to this list. To sign up, please send an e-mail to:  This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. This list is open to the general public. Members are not automatically subscribed to the list, so you need to add yourself if you’re not already on it.

If you do not have an email address associated with your membership

If you did not provide an email address when you joined CNPS or if you are not sure there is an email address associated with your membership, please send a message to This email address is being protected from spambots.
