The inaugural Silicon Valley Pancreatic Cancer Research Walk is scheduled Saturday in Mountain View.

A private Los Altos Hills residence may be one of the last – and least likely – concert venues for singer-songwriter Paul Simon. He’s scheduled to perform 7 p.m. Saturday at a benefit for a nonprofit organization committed to addressing global poverty.
Simon, who announced recently that he is retiring from the music scene after his last tour, is performing in support of The Life You Can Save, an advocacy and educational outreach agency that works to help poverty-stricken people in developing countries. Among its goals, The Life You Can Save connects potential donors with a host of vetted charities to ensure that money is put to he best use.
Organizers of the Oct. 6 Los Altos City Council Candidates Forum invite local residents to submit questions for candidates.
Questions may be submitted anonymously and will be reviewed by the moderator before they are posted.
The Joint Los Altos-Los Altos Hills Volunteer Service Awards Committee is accepting nominations of outstanding local volunteers for the 34th annual Volunteer Service Awards.

Six candidates are running for three seats in the Nov. 8 election. In advance of the forum, organizers have prepared a series of questions for candidates to answer.
