As students return to school, summer vacations come to an end and our community gears up for<br />
the November election, we welcome you to another edition of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Spectrum</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong>.<br />
Our cover story this month is on a longtime community nonprofit organization called the<br />
<strong>Service</strong> <strong>League</strong> of San Mateo County. This group gives former inmates a chance at “re-entry.”<br />
But, as you will read in this piece by contributing writer Michael Erler, they do so much more,<br />
accomplishing things that make us all better community-minded individuals. After reading, you<br />
might want to help out too.<br />
Our business profile this month is on downtown restaurant La Tartine. Open for about two<br />
years now, they recently added an outdoor dining section that has spruced up <strong>The</strong>atre Way. This<br />
former beauty school site now features some of the most beautiful eating in town.<br />
Publisher Steve Penna talks about political conflicts and the media and informs his readers of<br />
his decision to get involved in this November’s election in his column, “As I Was Saying….”<br />
What will he focus on for the next few months?<br />
We also bring you our regular features on community interests, senior activities, financial<br />
advice by David Amann, “<strong>Redwood</strong> City Through the Years,” information from the <strong>Redwood</strong><br />
City School District, popular feature “A Minute With” and information on how one nonprofit<br />
group has made a difference in our community.<br />
We encourage you to support our advertisers by using their services when you are out shopping,<br />
dining or enjoying yourself with friends and family. Many of them have special offers for you,<br />
so please take the time to look over their ads this month and use their coupons and discounts.<br />
Our community has so much to offer its residents. Get out and enjoy some of it!<br />
