Handbrewed Soaps

handbrewedsoaps@gmail.com

Raising Money to provide soap to the most vulnerable of Oakland through our Keep Oakland Healthy Bar of Soap. When you buy a bar, 4 additional people in our community will too.   The demand for soap in our community continues as there is a shortage. If you feel so inclined to help us get soap into the hands of those that need it the most, feel free to purchase this bar. It will help us buy supplies to make more soap so that people don’t need to worry (as much) about staying healthy. We of course, are donating much of our materials and time to make this happen. Your help would make a larger impact. Our partners include:   The City of Oakland (2,000 bars donated), Mercy Brown Bag (2,000 bars), LavaeMae (200 bars), Serenity House (200 bars). And we continue to donate. See https://handbrewedsoaps.com/collections/keep-oakland-healthy-soap/products/keep-oakland-healthy-soap.

This 30-minute workout has been and continues to be a sanity saving option for busy individuals needing a quick, trainer guided, kickboxing-style workout. This is for all fitness level and does not require prior experience. Work at your speed, strength, and comfort level. As COVID hit the fitness industry, many small gyms like ours have been hit hard. This location is independently and family owned by Glenview parents living in the Glenview community for the past 22 years. We have pivoted our business with a creative program to help those who are interested in an at home exercise option. With the bad air from the fires and trying to do our part to keep at risk family and community members safe, this is an alternative fun option for both kids and adults. The online option is $30 a month with daily, changing workouts. It’s now at a new affordable rate! You can sign up directly at https://www.9round.com/fitness/Oakland-CA-x9372. We have Zoom options with a trainer who can give more detail instructions to kids to encourage exercise. If you have any questions, and want more information, please email telegraphaveoaklandca@9Round.com. When time comes, please come visit the studio.

REALTORS & HOME SERVICES


Suzanne Thompson – RealtorSuzanne Thompson Realtor

suzanne@redoakrealty.com     www.suzannethompsonhomes.com
DRE #02173002

I’m an East Bay native and my family has called Glenview home for the past 9 years. Miles has been part of the Glenview Elementary family since kinder and is now in Mx SJ’s 5th grade class, and Stella is in Mr. Gilley’s Kindergarten class. I forged a non-traditional path to motherhood with the help of my best friend Chris, his husband Ben, and the power of science.

I bring that same passion, tenacity, and heart to my work in Real Estate. I thrive in the role of trusted advisor & advocate and am honored to guide friends and neighbors through one of the biggest decisions of your lives: buying or selling your home. I’d love to be your resource for home maintenance and renovation questions, service provider recommendations, and of course if you or someone you know is thinking of buying or selling your home, I’d love to help.

I pay reparations from every transaction to organizations working to provide housing for all, establish anti-racist housing policies and practices, and empower more people of color to achieve home ownership and build generational wealth.

Please let me know how I can help you! If you need any referrals for painters, simple bathroom/kitchen remodels, or new floors, I am super happy to help you find the resources that you need. Also, happy to answer any real estate related or investing strategy questions for you as well. I’ll talk about real estate all day if you let me, or kid stuff too!


Leonore Deaton

My passion for real estate stems from my love of all things home — family, gardening, design, and a place of comfort and rest. Helping people through times of growth and change, and making their transitions as easeful as possible, is the highlight of my work.

My son Amalio is in Mr. Alexander’s 1st grade class, and we are thrilled to be a part of the Glenview community!  I am available as a resource and happy to provide real estate guidance; just let me know what you need!

Join me on Instagram where I share my joy of East Bay real estate and our community:  leonore_deaton_realtor

For every transaction I assist a Glenview family with, I contribute an amount of the proceeds to a cause of their choice.

Goals InSight

www.goalsinsight.com/
cheryl@goalsinsight.com

My business has been referral based for over 17 years, and it would be an honor to talk with people you know who need leadership and/or team support. If you know of an organizational team that is struggling with their team dynamics or getting results in their work together (especially during times of change like our current situation), I provide no-obligation, complimentary consultations with team leaders to explore their needs and potential solutions that can be offered virtually to support them in becoming high performing. Similarly, if you know a leader who wants support in leading his/her team, or is struggling to meet the day-to-day business operational needs while managing COVID-19 stressors, I provide complimentary, no-obligation consultations to see if leadership / executive coaching could support them. All services are being provided virtually for now (it’s amazing what can be done to engage teams and leaders via Zoom or WebEx when facilitated well!), and once the shelter-in-place is lifted, we can return to in-person sessions. Thank you for thinking of me as you talk with your trusted colleagues and friends.


KIDS & FAMILY RELATED


The Nurtured Seedling

www.thenurturedseedling.com

Founded and run by two Glenview mamas, our mission is to give younger kids the opportunity to learn about growing a home garden. Gardening teaches kids responsibility, self-confidence, love of nature, creativity, nutrition, cooperation, and so much more. These small-group classes (taught by the founders) are held in a safe, beautiful outdoor home garden near Dimond Park. After-school and weekend classes available. We also partner with local woman-owned businesses to lead both informational and creative workshops for adults and families to nourish the mind, body, and spirit. Past adult-only workshops have included seasonal wreath classes with a local florist, botanical skincare diy, and more. Family workshops have included Mother’s Day flower crowns, succulent teacups, and holiday cookie decorating.

Check us out and we can’t wait to see you in the garden!

We have a huge play structure, an imagination play room plus an open play space for your littles to run around and play. The space is designed with parents in mind, with a “wide open easy to see your littles play” and relax space with comfy seats for parents or you can join in on the fun and play! Our goal is to ensure that everyone can feel safe and comfortable in a place that is designed for kids and families to have fun in a welcoming environment. We will also have a snack area where families can pick up some quick and easy snacks to eat while you’re there.

Once we are open we will have work and play slots in 2 hour increments where parents can book a section to work while we watch and entertain your little, we we also provide private play slots which means parents can book play slots in 90 min increments to play and after each play session we will reset the toys, clean and sanitize the entire facility so that it is ready for the next private playgroup. We will also have private parties like our private play, after each party we will clean, reset toys and sanitize the entire facility.

Just to name a few of the events to look forward to once we are allowed to safely open that will take place throughout the year like tea parties, New Year Balloon drop, boo bash, family mixers, family game nights, mommy and me/daddy and me, easter egg hunts, glenview kids only events, princess and pirates, member only events, monthly parent drop off date nights, and more!
