Last Chance: Seedling Sale, Egg Hunts & Camp Aid

We all do it. Forget to mark our calendars for upcoming Little League sign-ups, prom tickets or local business expos. There are so many events and opportunities in Los Altos that is can be hard to keep tabs on them all.

The following is a list of deadlines coming up. Some will save you money. Some are just for fun. Take a look before it's your last chance.

CAMPS

April 6: Midnight Deadline to apply for financial assistance to to attend great camps conducted by Galileo Learning (low-to-middle-income families): Camp Galileo (pre-K to rising 5th graders), Galileo Summer Quest (rising 5th-8th graders), Tech Summer Camps (rising 4th-8th graders) and Chabot Space & Science Camps (rising 3rd-7th graders) 

April 15: Early Bird Registration deadline for Golden Eagle Sports Camp, for ages 5-13 held at Los Altos High School or Homestead High School. Early bird registration  means a $20 discount; additional discount applied for full pre-payment.

April 22: Spartan Sports Camp offers a free basketball-focused clinic at Mountain View High School 10 a.m. - 1 p.m., to demonstrate what its new summer sports camp is is like. Open to kids in grades 3-9 and will be run by Mountain View High School coaches and student-athletes. A free pizza lunch for those who attend.

 

DULL BUT NECESSARY

April 17: Deadline to file federal and state 2011 taxes (as if you didn't know)

April 22: Deadline for new participants to the High Energy Homes program. This is a hard deadline. Once it's over, it's over ... and these deadlines tend to be hard to find on the websites (for example, did you know the Energy Upgrade California program  ended March 3? Exactly.)
