Rotary hops to art project
The Rotary Club of Cupertino and the Foothill-De Anza Foundation are spearheading a public art project to celebrate the Year of the Rabbit in 2023.
About 25 rabbit sculptures will be decorated by local artists and placed in visible locations around the city beginning in the Lunar New Year through fall 2023. Bidders can purchase the rabbits at a public auction at the close of the exhibition; the first $10,000 raised will go toward helping build residences in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Additional net proceeds from the auction will fund Rotary-supported initiatives such as Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley, SunWork solar panel installations and Winterfest at Via Services.

Pedestrian scramble
It may sound like the opposite of a traffic safety move, but Cupertino’s first pedestrian scramble is actually designed to help folks walk across the street without worrying about cars crossing their path.
During said scramble, traffic lights at the intersection of Bubb and McClellan roads will all turn red to allow pedestrians to cross any leg of the intersection. The scramble will start in mid-January and will happen during school commute hours.
Cars will not be allowed to turn right on red when pedestrians are scrambling, and the walk signal will be on in all directions.
Cupertino Spelling Bee
Elementary and middle school students can register for the Cupertino Spelling Bee at reg4rec.org. The bee is set for Jan. 21, 2023, 1-5:30 p.m.
