Alameda County Supervisor Scott Haggerty will open the doors of his Pleasanton district office Dec. 18 for a public holiday reception.

The event will be held from 5:30-8 p.m. in the Heritage House, located on the Alameda County Fairgrounds.

Haggerty and his staff will be there to welcome constituents, commissioners, elected officials and anyone who wishes to stop by and to meet the supervisor and spread some holiday cheer. It is planned as an informal social event complete with light refreshments.

Those going are urged to bring a toy or canned food item for donation to Open Heart Kitchen and Abode Homeless Services.

The historic Heritage house will be adorned with lights and decorations beginning this week and lasting through the holidays, courtesy of Jim and Brandy Theofanopoulos of the Screen Machine in Livermore,

Interesting that Supervisor Haggerty is throwing a party in Pleasanton which is not in his district. Raises some interesting questions. Are the taxpayers paying for the party, food refreshments? If its his campaign how can he throw a political event on County property? Seems to me he is using his office for his own political benefit and the taxpayers are once again paying for it. Glad he no longer represents Pleasanton we were on to him so he redistricted us out of his district.

WOW, really that concerned about the event being held in Pleasanton? His offices remain in the Heritage House and I will be there, but I will ask about your concerns and post them.

actually, I much preferred having a tri-valley resident, over an Oakland resident as our Sup. I've never understood how this switcheroo happened. Jennifer had something to do with it, like she wants to move on to Supervisor.

Regardless, I prefer Scott to Nate ! ! !

The county fair is located on land owned by the County, but within the Pleasanton City limits. Both Sup.s have an office at the Heritage house. I'd take a Sup. Haggerty party here in town, over a Sup. Miley party where all of Oakland is invited for free treats. Ramp up the metal detectors.
