Mark Curtis Speaks Out on Politics, KTVU, and What He is Up To These Days

Mark Curtis, formerly of KTVU Channel 2 in the San Francisco Bay Area, addressed the San Ramon Rotary Club at Crow Canyon Country Club in Danville, CA on Wednesday. We caught up with Mark Curtis to ask him a few questions and we also managed to get some video on his comments to the Rotarians.

We wrote a couple of posts in the past about Mark and his departure from KTVU:

Is KTVU Dumping Mark Curtis

Did KTVU Err in Sending Mark Curtis to Siberia?

These two posts have gathered a lot of comments from Mark Curtis fans. Here is a recent comment from Mark:

I am just overwhelmed at the number of e-mails,letters and phone call of support I continue to receive. People have been so supportive and kind! I am still looking to come back into TV full-time. In the meantime, keep up with my latest business and reporting activities at www.MarkCurtisMedia.com. Thanks especially to John Harper and his team for their continuing support!

The Contra Costa Chapter of the Women’s Council of Realtors is sponsoring Feng Shui for Success with Marsha Golangco. Marsha has been specializing in Cross-Cultural Feng Shui since 1988. In her work, she combines her Eastern upbringing with her Western education to bring cultural awareness and understanding to the principles of Feng Shui.

You may recall our post Feng Shui California Style back in February of 2007 in which we asked – “What the heck is Feng Shui and should I be scared?”

Organic, fresh, locally grown produce – that was the dream Virginia Mudd had envisioned when she bought the plot of land that became Crow Canyon Gardens in 1978. Now a public park owned by the city of San Ramon, the gardens are inhabited by fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs.

Located adjacent to Mudd’s Restaurant, the Crow Canyon Gardens were originally intended to illustrate the connection between the food source – farm or garden — and the dining room. Virginia Mudd is the granddaughter of Harvey Mudd, founder of Harvey Mudd College of the Claremont Colleges in Southern California. She created the restaurant to share with the public her fascination with preparing and serving meals that were as nutritious as they were delicious.

Today the Crow Canyon Gardens proudly serve the San Ramon community through environmental education and biological agriculture. There is a group tour program available to the public during the week ,along with a demonstration kitchen garden and community gardens.

The gardens are located at 160 Park Place in San Ramon, behind Mudd’s Restaurant and just off of Crow Canyon Road.

Last Friday, Jul 20th, I attended the Contra Costa County Women’s Council of Realtors breakfast at Crow Canyon Country Club. Jeff Davi, the Real Estate Commissioner for California was the guest speaker.

I managed to get a photo of Jeff with Angela Muetterties, 2008 WCR President. Angel is a fellow Keller Williams agent in our Danville Market Center. She is excited about growing the Women’s Council of Realtors and increasing community involvement and awareness of WCR.

Walking into the WCR event the first thing you saw was this. These three ladies are from Sugi Healing Arts. What better way to start a Friday??!!! Amy Erez, owner of Sugi, is on the left. I took advantage of the situation. The only drawback was they kicked me out of the chair so Karen Pinkston from Homeguard (on the left) could have a turn.

Jeff Davi spoke for about an hour. He gave us a quick overview of the changes taking place within the California Department of Real Estate and I, for one, think he is moving in the right direction. There is a big focus on brining as much technology as possible into interface between brokers/agents and the DRE.

Jeff covered a lot of subjects and answered many questions. Here is a clip of him addressing the housing affordability situation in California.

We are appreciative of the Women’s Council of Realtors for bringing the Commissioner to Danville and providing us the opportunity to hear what’s happening with the DRE and the housing industry in California.
