Today's riddle: What is the longest word in the dictionary? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Submit Applications for Community Grants Program (California) (fundsforngos.org) — Nonprofits and public agencies that serve Burlingame residents can now apply for Peninsula Health Care District Community Grants, due August 26, 2026. Funding targets mental health, preventive care, healthy aging, and safety-net services, offering a timely opportunity for local groups to expand health programs in and around Burlingame.
• Fatal E-Bike Crashes Prompt Bay Area Safety Review (hsjchronicle.com) — A new state-backed pilot in San Mateo County would bar children under 12 from riding certain e-bikes, a move partly driven by last year's fatal e-bike-related crash that killed 4-year-old Ayden Fang in Burlingame. The bills would also let cities lower trail speeds and require more safety features, potentially shaping how e-bikes are used locally.
• Cornell Picks Up Summer Juniors Qualifier Alexa Chang For 2027 (swimswam.com) — A Burlingame High School senior and Burlingame Aquatic Club swimmer, Alexa Chang, has verbally committed to continue her academic and swimming career at Cornell University in 2027. Her recent standout backstroke and butterfly times at CIF State and Western Zone meets highlight the strong local swim development happening in Burlingame's programs.
