Greetings from Supervisor Haubert Dear District 1, As we turn the page to 2026, I would like to wish you a happy and healthy start to the New Year! A new year offers an opportunity to reflect, and I want to take a moment to highlight some of our 2025 accomplishments. As we welcome the year ahead, I want to extend my sincere thanks to the District 1 community for your continued support and partnership. My team and I remain committed to working alongside you to build a stronger, more connected community in 2026. I invite you to explore the updates and resources included in this newsletter to stay connected with upcoming events, programs, and opportunities throughout District 1 and Alameda County. As always, if there is anything that my office can do to assist you regarding County-specific matters, please feel free to reach out at bosdist1@acgov.org. Sincerely,

District 1 Step Into The Light Youth-Creative Arts Competition Bay Area high school students are invited to participate in the Cow Palace's 3rd Annual Step into the Light (SITP) creative competition, honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This youth arts competition features essay, poetry, art, and video categories. Visual art submissions may include photography, painting, sculpture, and mixed media, all inspired by Dr. King's powerful speeches addressing injustice and hope.
Fun fact: Dr. King spoke at the Cow Palace in 1964! SITP offers young people a meaningful opportunity to share their creativity, call out injustice, and make a positive impact in their communities all while building an impressive addition to college or skilled trades school applications. It's also a fun and therapeutic personal interest project! Prizes include:
Grand Prize: Apple AirPods Max Wireless Headphones
Best of Show Winners (each category): $300 All high school artists who complete the entry requirements will have their work exhibited at the Step into the Light Art Exhibit & Awards Ceremony on February 11, 2026, even if they do not place in the competition.
