Pleasanton Community Concert Band's Annual July 4th Celebration
Saturday, July 4, 2026 - 12-1:30 p.m.
<a href="https://www.mad4p.org/celebratingjuly4th/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">From Make a Difference for Pleasanton:</a> “Celebrating Freedom and its Evolution since the Revolution,” Pleasanton’s annual concert and picnic, will be held from noon to 1:30 p.m. on the Fourth of July. &nbsp;Lions Wayside Park is located at 4401 First Street, across the street from one of the event sponsors, Meadowlark Dairy.
This free event, a program of Make A Difference for Pleasanton, involves dozens of volunteers, including the members of the Pleasanton Community Concert Band, American Legion Post #237, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #6928, Boy Scout Troop #908, and other individuals.
Six hundred hot dogs lunches, cooked and served by Lions Club members, will be available for purchase. Vegetarian options will be available.&nbsp; Lions also will provide free hand-held American flags to the first 300 adults to arrive.
Audience members should plan to bring their own chairs or blankets to sit on.&nbsp; (Fifty folding chairs beneath a shade canopy will be available, courtesy of the Pleasanton Community Concert Band.)&nbsp; Participants of all ages are encouraged to wear red, white, and blue.
“This will be the twenty- fifth time that volunteers have put together ‘Celebrating Freedom and its Evolution since the Revolution” for our community,” said founder W. Ron Sutton.&nbsp; “On this &nbsp;250th Independence Day, we celebrate our shared heritage with an old-fashioned Fourth.&nbsp; Even if we disagree July 5 on current politics, we will do so with our expected behaviors of Respect, Responsibility, Compassion, Honesty, and Integrity.&nbsp; We celebrate living in a Community of Character!”
Also being recognized during the program are the 2026 Ed Kinney Community Patriots: Pam Yeaw and Anne and Brock Roby.
Included in the program will be a presentation by Randy Brown about the story behind our national anthem.
Established in 2005, the award honors the memory of Ed Kinney, who was a past mayor of the city and also the first Master of Ceremonies for the local Fourth of July event.
Current Masters of Ceremonies Les Duman and Herb Ritter will provide commentary.&nbsp;&nbsp; Mayor Jack Balch will provide brief opening remarks.
Founder W. Ron Sutton will offer a discourse on “The REAL Birthday” of our nation.

Emerald High School

Academic achievement alone will not prepare teens for the AI-era workplace. This 90-minute workshop for parents and caregivers focuses on the social-emotional competencies — self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making — that form the foundation for workplace readiness.
Top employers agree. In a January 2025 Education Week feature, Google's global head of education impact, Jennie Magiera, named these exact CASEL competencies as traits her teams prize, noting that Google values social-emotional skills as much as technical talent.¹ Microsoft's vice president of education, Paige Johnson, added that the top skills needed to navigate complexity and change in the age of AI remain uniquely human.¹ These "durable human skills" also underpin the capabilities the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025 identifies as essential for tomorrow's workforce, including resilience, flexibility, creative thinking, and lifelong learning.²
Led by Heather Thompson of Attachment Matters, LLC, the session explores how attachment styles shape a child's capacity to develop these competencies and thrive. You'll leave with practical strategies to build the secure foundation your teen needs for future career readiness.

Personal Training with Unlimited DEXA and VO2 Max

Custom Fit

Most training programs run on guesswork. Custom Fit replaces it with measurement. At its San Francisco studios, Personal Training and Partner Training memberships include unlimited DEXA body-composition scans and VO2 max testing — diagnostics usually sold one scan at a time or reserved for specialized clinics. Custom Fit members can test as often as they train. The reasoning is straightforward. A DEXA scan measures fat, lean muscle, and bone density with clinical precision. A VO2 max test measures the body's maximum oxygen uptake, one of the strongest predictors of cardiovascular fitness and long-term health. Run those tests on a regular cadence and a member can see exactly what is changing, where, and whether a program is working — rather than relying on the scale or the mirror. That is the idea behind Custom Fit's positioning: not a gym, a performance lab. Every program is built from a member's measured body composition and cardiovascular capacity, then adjusted as the data moves. The goal is to eliminate the guesswork that defines most fitness routines and to treat training as something you can verify. The model also brings longevity diagnostics that usually live in concierge medicine into a routine training week. Body composition and cardiovascular capacity are central markers of how well a person is aging, and regular testing keeps those numbers visible rather than treating them as an occasional, expensive add-on. Custom Fit operates in Hayes Valley (323 Octavia Street), on Market Street (1844 Market), and with a Downtown San Francisco location on Battery Street (570 Battery) opening soon. Personal Training, Partner Training, and select memberships include the testing. More information is available at customfitsf.com.
