New Year’s Eve at Children’s Discovery Museum
Ring in 2024 across time zones.
New year across time zones
Families can celebrate the arrival of 2024 by participating in a countdown to midnight across time zones at the Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose, featuring the museum’s version of the famous ball drop in Times Square complete with confetti. At the ball drops, “shout outs” will be given to different countries and how people in those countries might be celebrating the new year.
The ball drops Sunday, Dec. 31, at 11 a.m., noon, 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. For tickets and more information, visit https://www.cdm.org/event/noon-years-eve-6.
Neighborhood Notes
CAMBRIAN>>A new year means new digs for Cancer CAREpoint, nonprofit that has offered free personalized support services, resources, education and assistance to more than 10,000 cancer patients and their caregivers and families.
On Jan. 2, 2024, Cancer CAREpoint’s Resource Center will officially open its doors in a new location at 2512 Samaritan Court, Suite A, San Jose, across the street from current offices. The new space will have the same warm lobby with a cozy fireplace, along with the wig bank and space for counseling. First to move was the donor board and framed thumbprints of some 250 cancer patients and families who provided the inspiration for founding Cancer CAREpoint in 2009-10.
The space is designed as a refuge for people dealing with cancer. It is close to many medical facilities and public transportation to meet the needs of cancer patients, no matter their provider or insurance.
