\centerline{\bfl In Appreciation} 
\bigskip
As we celebrate the twenty-fifth birthday of The Sequoias, we residents
know how much we owe to those people who first dreamed of, and then
planned and built this beautiful place. We also know how much we owe the
pioneer residents of 1961, some of whom are still with us.  They did much
to make The Sequoias what it is today.  They established the first guide
lines; many we still follow.  They created the cheerful, friendly
atmosphere that we all continue to enjoy today. They created the feeling
of community and of belonging, in a sense, to a larger family, where we
all feel a concern for each other.  We can feel that we are truly at home.

Some of these simple, early established, customs still hold true -- a
friendly greeting to people one passes by, the use of first names, and the
willingness to help each other. All of the committees that work to keep
our surroundings beautiful and our lives full and interesting -- from
gardening and flower arrangements to Spanish lessons, the store, the
library, the entertainment committee, yes, even the swimming pool -- all of
these continue to be the result of our residents' effort.

Let us hope that during the next twenty-five years, The Sequoias will continue
to have the same friendly atmosphere that we enjoy today.  If this spirit is
to be perpetuated, we, present and future residents, will have to do our part
in maintaining it.

As time passes, the activities that fill our days are sure to change.  Some
will disappear, but if new activities, more in keeping with future times, take
their place, present and future residents will have to create them.

Listed elsewhere in this brochure, are the names of several among us who
are second-generation Sequoians.  Among celebrants of the Fiftieth
Anniversary there may well be other second-generation, even third-generation,
Sequoians who will be following their parents and grandparents, some of
whom are with us today.

We wish all current and future residents well.

{\bfl The Residents' Association}\par
\rightline{\bfl of The Sequoias, Portola Valley}
\bigskip
\parindent=20pt
An organization meeting of an Interim Council of prospective residents of
the Sequoias was held on March 28, 1961, two months before the first
residents moved in.  Mr.G. W. Waldron served as president. Later in 1961,
the Residents Association was formed, and on December 7th the Association
held its first election of officers.

The Association consists of all residents of The Sequoias, Portola Valley, and
it helps in promoting a satisfying and pleasant community life. The
Association meets annually to review the year's activities and to make any
needed changes in its constitution and by-laws.

The main business of the Association is conducted by an elected
twelve-member Residents' Council that meets monthly and that represents
the interests of all residents.  The Council elects a president,
vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, who together form the Executive
Committee of the Council. The Council works closely with The Sequoias'
administrators in formulating policies and in taking actions for the
benefit of all residents. It also confers with the elected officers of
Township of Portola Valley and other agencies in the immediate area.

Much of the actual work of the Association is carried on by more than forty
committees of residents that organize and direct activities desired by
residents.  Many residents serve on several committees.  All residents are
encourged to participate in committee work to make life for all Sequoians
productive and rewarding.

The Executive Committee members have been the following:
