‘Eureka Day’ Bay Area roots show through in latest Raven Theater production 4
By Christian Kallen
“The first Earth Day was 1970,” recalled actor Ed Begley Jr. “At that point I was 20 years old and I’d lived two decades in the horrible smog of Los Angeles. It wasn’t a fiction, it was a fact, how dirty the air was. And I asked the people who were organizing it, ‘What's your plan for Earth Day and what are you going to do with the other 364 days?’
“They said, ‘We’re going to clean up the air; we’re going to clean up the water.’
“So I said, ‘Sign me up.’” Begley has carried that commitment through for the past 50-plus years—driving electric cars or biking, recycling and eventually becoming vegan. His lifelong commitment came from lived experience: the lung-wrenching agony of trying to breathe in heavy smog, the
dirty sea water from the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill and the Cuyahoga River catching fire that same year.
Even as his acting career developed and grew, Begley— who turns 76 this week—continued to promote the “green” lifestyle, hosted the television program Living With Ed with his wife Rachelle Carson and wrote two books including Ed Begley, Jr.’s Guide to Sustainable Living (“Straight talk from Hollywood’s eco-nerd,” raved Outside Magazine).
Now a third book, To the Temple of Tranquility … and Step On It!, is on the shelves, more a memoir (with a few surprising name-drops) than a how-to. But — More on page 10
● ‘Sun Day’ proclamation, film and other eco-events
By Christian Kallen
The days must be getting shorter, because Sun Day is fast approaching. Midway between the longest day and the shortest day of the year is the equinox, when all the world stands in equilibrium—in the solar sense, at least. So in this brief episode of planetary stability, the people who gave us Earth Day thought perhaps the time had come for Sun Day. Which falls, this year at least, on an actual Sunday: Sept. 21.
The idea of Sun Day itself dates back to the first president who put solar collectors on the White House roof, Jimmy Carter. In the positive wake of Earth Day, founded in 1970, the 22nd president declared May 3, 1978, as Sun Day. It didn’t quite catch on—May 3 was a Wednesday— but the intent was clear.

● Teen game spills into the streets on a Friday night
By Christian Kallen
An incident reported on the evening of Sept. 5 by the Healdsburg Police Department in their weekly media bulletin was evidently related to a game of “Fugitive,” played by high school students in the neighborhoods between the Community Center and Badger Park.
Somewhere along Matheson Street, at about 10:30pm, a “charcoal/gray Volkswagen Passat or Honda occupied by four to five individuals” pulled into the driveway and “[its occupants] threw eggs at three juvenile females,” according to report 5209050052. Two of the girls were hiding beneath a white GMC pickup truck and one was in the truck bed. The eggs hit the tailgate of the pickup after

Jonathan Spector’s Eureka Day is a play with deep Bay Area roots. Originally commissioned by Berkeley’s Aurora Theatre and first performed in 2018, it won the 2019 San Francisco Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle Award for Original Script and Theatre Bay Area’s Will Glickman Award for best new play to premiere in the Bay Area.
It had its North Bay premiere at Rohnert Park’s Spreckels Theatre Company in 2019 and runs off-Broadway and at London’s Old Vic. The 2024 Broadway revival picked up the Best Revival Tony Award just a couple of months ago. Currently, there’s a remount of the original production (with the original director and several members of the original cast) running in Mill Valley at Marin Theatre.
Sonoma County residents need not jump on the 101 to check out a production of this very interesting play, as Healdsburg’s Raven Players have a production currently running at the Raven Performing Arts Theater through Sept. 21.
Eureka Day is the kind of school run by committee where everything must be approved by consensus. Situated in Berkeley (of course), the Executive Board consists of school leader Don (Matt Farrell) and five parent volunteers: longtime members Eli (Jason Justin), Meiko (Nicole Thordsen), Suzanne (Chelsea Bell Jennings) and newcomer Carina (Jeanette
Seisdedos). They spend their meetings deciding things like whether “transracial adoptee” should be added to the dropdown menu of identifying choices on their on-line application form or whether paper plates should be allowed on campus.
Consensus building becomes a challenge when they are notified that an enrolled student has contracted the mumps and that the County Health Department is going to prohibit any students without documentation of immunity from returning to school.
Cue the vaccination debate.
And yet, the issues Spector confronts are more than just that one hot-button issue. Is the search for “common ground” often a futile one? Should “feelings” trump science, and whose science? Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few?
Spector offers all the viewpoints, with the parents taking opposing sides and the school administrator trying to find an impossible middle ground. His mediating skills are put to a real test during an online “Community Activated Conversation.” This take on group chats may be the single-best comedic scene written for the stage in the last 10 years.
Director Steven David Martin has cast a few Raven regulars with some new-tothe-area talent, and they make for a solid ensemble. While the cast seemed a bit

sources that can provide heating, cooling and power for homes, farms and factories is greater than at any other time in our Nation’s history,” Carter wrote in his 1978 proclamation. That part hasn’t changed, but the next part has: “For this reason, Americans are seeking ways of using the sun as an inexhaustible source of clean energy.”
The political realities of the past year have demonstrated something entirely different. “We are driving a dagger straight into the heart of the climate change religion to drive down cost of living for American families, unleash American energy, bring auto jobs back to the U.S. and more,” said EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin in March, six weeks after Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Re-engaging with the mission
tentative at moments on opening night, they settled in as the show progressed and will hopefully continue to do so throughout the run.
Farrell is in his element as the harried administrator, and Seisdedos scores as the new-to-the-Board-but-not-to-therodeo Carina. Bell Jennings is very strong as the forceful Suzanne, giving voice to the anti-vax point of view, inviting the audience to better understand—but not excuse—the stance. Justin and Thordsen’s characters are a bit underwritten, but each have their moments.
The audience is placed on stage for this production, with elevated rows of seats surrounding the Dan Seisdedos-designed set on three sides. While I’m usually a fan of this approach at The Raven, I think this show requires a bit of distance between audience and stage, particularly during the group-chat scene.
Plays don’t get as timely as Eureka Day. Yet with the uproar at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the state of Florida seeking to repeal all vaccination mandates for school children, it may not play as funny as it originally did.
But life in these United States isn’t as fun as it once was, either.
‘Eureka Day’ runs through Sept. 21 at the Raven Performing Arts Theater, 115 North St., Healdsburg. Thu–Sat, 7:30pm; Sun, 2pm. $10–$25. 707.433.6335. raventheater.org
That meant that re-engaging with the climate goals of the original Sun Day remain more important than ever. “I think right now, the national challenges are demanding our attention,” said Tyra Benoit of Climate Action Healdsburg (CAH). “We all still believe that local action is absolutely necessary, but there are also other things that have occupied our hearts and minds.” She is the spokesperson for the volunteer group founded in the wake of the Sustainable Design Assessment Team’s visit to Healdsburg in 2018. Two “retreats” were held earlier this year in which about 16 members of CAH workshopped ways to continue their commitment to environmental concerns even as the social and political landscape changed.
It led to the formation of a political action team, headed by Hank Skewis, organized to add what resources the CAH could to local protest events and actions. These include the No Kings march on June 14 and the upcoming one planned for Oct. 18.
The group as a whole decided to join the national Sun Day movement, at thirdact.org/sun-day. “Sun Day is a day of action on September 21, 2025, celebrating solar and wind power, and the movement to leave fossil fuels behind,” according to their mission statement. There are “action groups” in 30 states, each with several more local events.
CAH decided to take part. Events in the week leading up to Sun Day began on Monday night, Sept. 15, when the City Council issued a proclamation in support of Sun Day. Tuesday found Benoit and John Mihalik rallying local enthusiasm at The 222. The inspiring documentary, Idle Threat: Man on Emission, screened on Wednesday at Little Saint.
Now Thursday, Sept. 18, brings a rare opportunity to tour the second largest

● Mixed record so far but coach has confidence
By Caleb Knudsen
With the football Greyhounds taking a break this past weekend (their Sept. 12 game against Santa Rosa forfeited due to injuries and suspensions), sports fans turned up at Frost Gym on Thursday to see the girls volleyball teams take on Montgomery High in not one but three games: freshman, JV and varsity teams all competed for a full evening of action in the close quarters of the former East Gym on the high school campus. Coached by Jonathan Nuttall, the varsity team play with the sort of positive energy and camaraderie that characterizes the best of the sport. Games take
place in the close quarters of the smaller gym, where shouts of encouragement to teammates become as much a part of the game as the set-ups and spikes. After each point the girls gather and high five, reinforcing the teamwork that makes points, and wins, possible.
Throughout the game, Coach Nuttall watched with a smile, encouraging the positive team energy that is the best part of the sport. “I stand by what I said at the beginning of the year about this team having the right attitude,” Nuttall told the Tribune. “The varsity returners are determined to be more successful this season than last, so I’m going to do
what I can to give them that chance.
“But I’m also going to start being more flexible with the lineup,” he added, and at the Sept.11 game against Montgomery substitutions were made, giving every player on the bench a chance to play. “The sophomores have been impressing me with their drive and ability to step up when asked, so I’ll be looking for more opportunities to get them on the court as we move forward.”
Starting on the court were seniors Siena Sbragi, Amelia Low, Tatum Kiff and Liliana Nieto, with sophomores Jane Perrill as libero and Emma Azevedo as a defensive specialist. But as Nuttall promised, the lineup rotated throughout the three sets.
Although the Lady Hounds staged an impressive come-from-behind in the first set to tie the match at 18-18, and again kept pace until the score was 22-22, they ultimately lost the first set and the next two to the Montgomery Vikings. It marked their sixth loss in a row, since they won a pair against St. Helena (Aug. 28) and Willits (Sept. 4).
Their season record now stands at 4-10, though as Nuttall pointed out, “We’ve been riddled with illness and injuries, so we've rarely had the chance to play at full strength.” With a full roster, he claims a 3-2 record, “if that tells you anything! Hopefully we’re past that now and can start getting into a better rhythm, especially with league play starting up next week against Rancho.”
Following this Thursday’s meeting with Maria Carrillo (Sept. 18), NCL-Redwood play begins in earnest on Sept. 23 with a home match against Rancho Cotate. Other league competitors follow in quick succession—Elsie Allen, St. Vincent de Paul, Piner and Analy—interrupted by the Oct. 4 Nor-Cal Tourney to be held at Rancho Cotate.
Rancho’s TAG (Theater-Academics-Gymnasium) Building is a huge venue for high school sports, with room for 2,500 in the bleachers. The excitement of both teams and fans in such a big hall is diluted, so volleyball fans should welcome the opportunity to see this year’s team play in the much cozier Frost Gym whenever possible.
Game time is set for 6:30pm, though as both frosh and JV teams also play matches starting at 5pm, the varsity teams often don’t get started until 7pm. But don’t be late. As Nuttall said, “This year’s freshmen class has a lot of strong volleyball players, so I think Hound volleyball is going to just look better and better over the next few years.”

The light shifts slowly at first—a softness in the sky, a pale yellow haze over the vineyards. And then all at once, it’s unmistakable: September has arrived. In Healdsburg, we feel the turn of the season not by calendar, but by morning chill, by the way the sunlight fades faster behind Fitch Mountain before dusk envelops the town. The market tables tilt toward fall—Delicata squash, crisp apples, the last of the tomatoes holding out beside newly harvested potatoes. Figs are finally ripening, sweet and bursting. Fewer berries now. More roots.
It was a cool summer this year, and the grape harvest is just beginning—later than usual. But the rhythms of the land continued, and now, under a gathering harvest moon, the colors have deepened and the scent of dust hangs in the late afternoons, soon to be replaced by the heady perfume of fermentation. It’s a scent I love, because it reminds me of the cycle of my life. When I’m not here, I miss it deeply—the cool, early mornings, the bustle of activity before sunrise, the way harvest shapes the tempo of this place.
This is my 20th year photographing harvest—since 2005—and I still love this time. I’ve spent nights with vineyard crews lit only by headlamps and moonlight, capturing the exact moment the fruit leaves the vine. My favorite moment is when the deepest darkness turns into light and the sky opens up. I rarely see sunrise outside of harvest. There’s a reverence to it. A rhythm. A knowing.
Night picks are fast and focused—exhilarating and also very still. It’s something remarkable to behold. You crouch low with the crews, stay out of the way, move quickly with them. Sometimes there are generators to light the rows, and sometimes there’s nothing at all. It can be freezing. Dusty. But when the light breaks, it’s sudden, surprising—and then it’s broad daylight, and everyone heads home. I am grateful every time I get to witness it.
The harvest moon rises large and low, washing the fields in silver just as the first clusters are brought in. It’s not a romantic image for many—it’s headlights on tractors, aching backs, the rhythm of hand and blade and crate. But for me, it is incredibly beautiful, and I am awestruck by the experience—the choreography, the pace, the darkness of the night— every single time.
As for the produce farmers and ranchers I meet each week, they are also in full
throttle. Rather than celebrating the close of summer, they’re moving forward— shifting rows, planning soil amendments. They’re still feeding us, and already thinking about what comes next.
Figs are ripe now. Their soft skins and honeyed centers speak of late summer’s gifts. The heirloom tomatoes still shine, though their time is nearly done. Peppers in every hue—red, yellow, green and chocolate brown—are stacked high, alongside eggplants with glossy skin and names like Rosa Bianca and Japanese Millionaire. The melons are heavy and sweet, and the last of the corn is stacked beside them.
It has been a cool and somewhat weary year. But the market remains a place of beauty and bounty. Here, food tells us something truer than words. The tomatoes didn’t come in early. The peaches weren’t prolific. The grapes, too valuable to ever be sold here, are just beginning their journey from vine to barrel.
In the weeks ahead, you’ll find me at the market, pulling dusty carrots from their basket, searching for figs, asking farmers how long until we see the first persimmons.
It’s not nostalgia. It’s rhythm. It’s showing up. It’s paying attention.

floating municipal solar array in the U.S. at Healdsburg’s Wastewater Treatment Plant (340 Foreman Lane). Plant Operations Superintendent Rob Scates and Terra Sampson, conservation analyst for the City, will join the 10am tour.
A Saturday morning presentation and tour of the green implementations at Enso Village, the new retirement community at the north end of Healdsburg, will take place. Included are looks at solar panels, the kitchen garden, an Enso residential apartment that uses heat pumps, energy recovery ventilation systems and other all-electric features, from 11am to 1pm. Celebration falls short Still, the local celebration of Sun Day falls
far short of what Climate Action Healdsburg had hoped for. The original intention was that the week’s events would lead up to a Sun Day rally and celebration at the Plaza on Sunday, with music and information booths— much as the same group had thrown Earth Day “Climate Fests” previously.
However it wasn’t until after the first of the year that CAH committed to Sun Day, and by then it was too late to apply for a permit to use the Plaza for a major event in 2025. Although Benoit worked with the city to find an alternate location, nothing satisfactory resulted.
So this year’s actual Sept. 21 event on the Plaza will be limited to a Sun Day Rally and Celebration, starting at noon for up to one hour, per city code.
Some Sun Day events request reservations, though all are free. See climateactionhealdsburg.org.

The dog was subsequently collected. A 25-YO man was arrested and transported to county jail for possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of methamphetamine and public intoxication.
9:08pm A man on University Street screamed violently, cursed and said, “They are going to burn you.” When people yelled at him to quiet down, he responded, “You should die.” An officer responded, but the man was gone on arrival and unable to be located.

JURIST IN WAITING Ed Begley Jr. will visit the Raven Theater on Sept. 27 to respond to questions, ranging from acting to the environment, from attendees of the Healdsburg International Short Film Festival. It will be his fourth year on the jury panel.

which the car left. The owner of the pickup confronted the three girls, who left the area without providing a description of the egg-throwers.
This incident appears to have been related to the “Fugitive” game that HHS Principal Tait Danhausen had warned students about in a campus-wide message that same day. “In short, students chase each other around town and ‘shoot’ each other with a variety of devices including Airsoft guns and Orbeez pellets,” he wrote. “These guns can look very real and have led to arrests in the past.”
Danhausen said that any student found in possession of such a gun on campus “will receive consequences based on our discipline matrix. Off-campus discipline is subject to the police.”
Contacted a few days later, Police Chief Matt Jenkins said, “The Healdsburg Police Department is aware of the student activity sometimes referred to as a ‘fugitive game’ … the Police Department routinely receives a significant number of calls related to the activity.”
He said that “an unusually high call volume placed a significant demand on limited staffing” that night, with three officers handing 25 calls for service—16
The book includes a bit of tea served on his friends and neighbors in Hollywood, including Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, Michael Richards, Meryl Streep and Carrie Fisher. Yet there is also self-aware insight about his drinking and other addictions, which he managed to kick at last.
Begley will be appearing at the Raven Theater on Sept. 27 (6pm) to sign copies and take questions on any relevant topic. “I hope people will ask questions about the environment; that’s very dear to me,” he said. “And my work as an actor and what’s in the book and dealing with Parkinson’s, whatever. There’s nothing that’s off the table.”
Judge Begley Jr.
His appearance is part of the annual Healdsburg International Short Film Festival, for which he is once more a judge. His friendship with co-founder Pamela Demorest over the years has made it possible. Demorest said, “I met Ed back when I was an actress in L.A. We hung out in the same circles of theater and film people, many of whom I still stay connected with.”
“Then you’ve got a low-rider car with the back window shot out, and there’s a bunch of shell casings on the ground in the foreground. You know, what does that mean?” He didn’t stop there, but continued on for a while, until he caught himself.
“I like visually appealing films. I certainly like that,” he emphasized. “And then if you get to that good level of storytelling, you can have a good hook to the movie and get people interested in what’s happening. And that takes some doing in 2025.”
Begley has served on the HISFF jury panel for four years, and though this is the first time he’s “headlining” a festival event, it won’t be his first time in the Healdsburg area. Actor Jeff Kober, another member of the film jury, will also be in town. Virtual judges, screening from afar, include Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan, SNL talent and voice actor Laraine Newman, Chicago storyteller Cindy Caponera, Kristina Motwani and Kathia Sanchez-Aldana.
the material world as a result.”
It includes background stories about some of his roles in St. Elsewhere, for which he was nominated for an Emmy six times, as well as Portlandia, Six Feet Under and literally hundreds of other TV shows, all the way back to My Three Sons in 1967. His movie credits are almost as long—from Elvis to She-Devil and This is Spinal Tap.
of which were directly tied to the game.
“For comparison, during the same period one week earlier, on a holiday weekend, officers handled just seven calls. This unusually high call volume placed a significant demand on limited staffing,” the Chief said.
Whose rules?
The street game Fugitive may just be an urban version of Capture the Flag, or Cops and Robbers. But the gangs are the younger classmates and the cops are the seniors, who hunt down the gangsters and, in today’s version, shoot them with paint, dye or gel.
“I’m concerned,” an area parent wrote to the police chief, school board members and others. “The ‘Fugitive’ game that happened late Friday night—where younger kids run from the Community Center to Badger Park while being chased by mainly seniors with guns—paintball guns, airsoft guns and Orbeez guns, etc. …. does it have anyone other than me concerned about children with gun-look-a-likes on the street?”
Although the parent was familiar with the Indian Huli ceremonies, which involve colored powder being thrown at others in public, this American version was troubling. “The kids are now using paintball guns and foam pellet guns that leave marks and could take out an eye,” she said. “Many of the hunters are masked, oftentimes in cars and trucks,
Make no mistake, Begley knows his filmic arts. When asked about some of his past roles—which included a recurring part on Better Call Saul —he went off on show creator Vince Gilligan, citing the opening sequence in the preceding Breaking Bad shot for shot.
“You see a desert sky … then you see a pair of pants flying through the air, and a motor home zooms right past,” he said.
anonymous and wearing protective gear while the hunted are not.”
She reported hearing from other parents about multiple injuries to school children that evening, from welts to physical assault, and her own fear she felt looking for her missing son that night.
Who can help?
Who then are parents to look for to help—the schools? “The fugitive game is in no way associated with the schools,” said Healdsburg Unified School District Superintendent Chris Vanden Heuvel. “I don’t have a lot of specifics to offer other than I know it’s been going on for some time amongst kids in Healdsburg and other communities—even other states.”
A USA Today article from a year ago was headlined, “‘Senior assassin’ trend: Authorities warn that teen game could have deadly consequences.” A Fox News report from Seattle said a teen had been killed by traffic while playing the game in 2023.
In Sonoma Valley, according to school newspaper the Dragon’s Tale, playing Fugitive is “a long-standing tradition” that can leave the campus “vandalized with egg shells, BB gun rounds, and paintball marks. In the past, injuries have happened during the event, disrupting many Sonoma citizens caught in the cross-fire.”
Despite Danhausen’s warnings, the school imposed no penalties under the “discipline matrix” because any misdeeds that occurred were off-campus.
“You know, I love films,” Begley said. “I love the film festival and I can’t wait to see all the wonderful folks that come up there. It’s a great crowd.”
Ed Begley Jr.’s booksigning appearance (for his To the Temple of Tranquility … And Step On It! ) will be at the Raven, 6pm on Saturday, Sept. 27, as part of this year’s Healdsburg International Short Film Festival.
Details on all HISFF events and tickets at healdsburgfilm.com/ 2025-tickets-schedule.
And regardless of the three-times-thenormal number of calls for service, there were no other reported citations of any related crimes.
As the principal concluded in his afternoon remarks before Friday night, “Please talk with your child about ‘Fugitive’ so that they understand the dangers of their participation and why this game is inappropriate and at times illegal.”
The Chief was in agreement. “The Police Department shares the community’s concern and emphasizes the responsibility of parents to talk with their children about the risks: potential injury, legal consequences and the confusion these devices create with real firearms,” he said.
Said the parent who wrote to the school district: “All is fun and games until a child loses an eye or is killed in traffic during a game. All is ‘just kids playing’ until an actual gun is used.
“The normalization of these actions (carrying, brandishing and using a weapon against humans in an unsanctioned public space) can lead to normalization of carrying a real gun into a real situation and taking a real life,” she wrote.
Perhaps it’s the sort of thing, like Prank Night just before the HHS graduation, that seems more dangerous than it is. But injury, whether suffered or imposed, is never really that much fun.

A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, (cashier’s check(s) must be made payable to National Default Servicing Corporation), drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state; will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below.

The requirements of California Civil Code Section 2923.5(b)/2923.55(c) were fulfilled when the Notice of Default was recorded. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sate. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 or visit this internet website www. ndscorp.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case 25-00680-GM-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT*: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are a “representative of all eligible tenant buyers” you may be able to purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 888-264-4010, or visit this internet website www.ndscorn.com, using the file number assigned to this case 25-00680-GM-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as a “representative of all eligible tenant buyers” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. Pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code, the potential rights described herein shall apply only to public auctions taking place on or after January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2025, unless later extended.
