Steepers has created a blend of herbs and called it 'Immunity'. All the ingredients purportedly strengthen the immune system (not evaluated by FDA):
echinacea, elder flowers, elderberries, lemon grass, peppermint, rose hip, milk thistle and a soupcon of green tea.
We enjoyed doing this fun and uplifting chalk challenge creating our mosaic of Downtown Campbell Water Tower.
So we challenge you to Show us your chalk art! ?
Thank you Flights Restaurant Campbell

Hi everyone, if you've wanted to help our businesses, but found it overwhelming to do something for everyone you wanted to help, we started a general fund on GoFundMe for Downtown Campbell merchants. You can pitch in any amount you wish and we'll figure out how to best distribute it amongst some of our most endangered storefronts. Please take a look at this if you can comfortably make a contribution. Thanks for your support!
This GoFundMe campaign is part of the Downtown Campbell Survival Project and any contribution of $25 or more gets you a couple of entries into a drawing for six gift cards.

Anxiety. Intense worries that you can’t control, those are cognitive distortions. They turn into panic attacks complete with heart palpitations, shaking, and or sweating. This can be debilitating for the person experiencing the anxiety, causing their quality of life to dwindle.
In this online workshop, The Big Fight: Conquering Anxiety, taught by Safira and presented by Boxing Strong on Instagram Live on April 22 at 6pm, you will learn how to identify your own thoughts, correct cognitive distortions, reclaim your power, and learn four tips for taking action when anxiety strikes in the moment. Learn about Safira here.
There is no quick fix for anxiety, and it may feel like an uphill battle. By gaining awareness of what causes your symptoms, you can manage them more quickly. You may find some of these suggestions will work for you right away and others may have no effect at all. The key to success is to keep trying.
Who has the equipment and expertise to set up large tents in an emergency? Event rental companies! And the Lighthouse District's own Chic Event Rental is ready to answer the call. The Chic truck is pictured here with a 5000 square foot Emergency Response Housing Tent their team just set up.

The Lighthouse District's Escape Room 831, like other businesses nationwide, has been impacted by the coronavirus emergency, but they’re making the most of their downtime by producing much-needed face shields for local health care workers and the police.
Escape Room 831’s fabricator Scott Rush, using a 3D printer, has been making eight to ten face shields per day and hopes to have 100 available by the time they are finished. The supplies are limited and sourcing has been difficult. Using all those supplies to fabricate is the primary concern.
“It isn’t the one million protective face shields Apple has committed to making weekly, but it is available to the local health care community for their use,” said owner Barrie Riddoch. “We are part of the community and we just wanted to do our share to help in any way we can.”
Escape Room 831 was founded in 2018 by entrepreneurs Christina and Barrie Riddoch of Monterey. Escape Room 831 is currently closed due to the coronavirus emergency.
Want to support Escape Room 831? Purchase a gift certificate on their website and go play a private game at their facility at 599 Lighthouse Avenue when the shelter-in-place order is lifted.
