Jeffrey Fontana Memorial Rose Garden clean up Crew
Thanks to the Santa Clara County Association of Realtors (SCCAOR), who came out in force last Saturday on May 20th, the Memorial Garden looks better than ever. They were assisted by five members of the Pioneer High School Key Club, who are mentored by the Kiwanis, and members of the Martin-Fontana Parks Association.

It’s been five years since the SCCAOR Foundation adopted the Memorial Garden and pledged more than $4000 toward its upkeep, besides volunteering their time and hard work each spring and fall to maintain the beautiful red and white theme. Chairman of the group is Frank Cancilla
The Martin-Fontana Parks Association greatly appreciates SCCAOR’s funding and volunteerism for the last five years. We salute their members who contribute so much to the lasting beauty of the garden that was planted to memorialize Officer Jeffrey Fontana. Officer Fontana was killed in the line of duty while patrolling our neighborhoods.

Thanks to the hard work of the Santa Clara County Association of REALTORS®, SCCAOR, the Jeffrey Fontana Memorial Garden continues to increase in value year after year for all our park visitors. Through their generous donations of time and money, the rose garden is a sight to behold. On Sat the 19th of Sept. a crew of volunteers swept through the garden, clipping rose bushes and pulling weeds.
Thanks also to Adopt-a-Park for providing the necessary tools to get the job done.

On Sat the 9th of May, the Santa Clara County Association of Realtors (SCCAOR), with the support of the Martin-Fontana Parks Association, and Adopt-a-Park, weeded, dead-headed roses and generally cleaned-up the Fontana Memorial Rose Garden at McAbee Road and Golden Oaks Drive. Continuing to make this area the highlight of the commute on McAbee! Thanks for all your hard work, volunteers. What we do without you.
Thanks also, to our photographer, Susan Mosher for the great photos.
Volunteers hard at work
