Sask. Lotteries had a Grant opportunity for the Community to apply for and the Library’s program “Cozy up and Color” was successful in their application. This program gave $750 dollars to purchase coloring packages for the community to pick up. 30 packages all handed out and returned gave the YBID an opportunity to use the artwork in local “gallery” locations which of course are the local businesses. Local businesses signed up with the YBID to be a host location for the available art and have their location visited by the community participating in the Art Walk. YBID also has donated $500 dollars which has been purchased in the local participating businesses as gift certificates to be drawn for on March 26

Every year, the Make-A-Wish Foundation grants about 225 wishes for San Diego children with life-threatening illnesses. Some kids ask for a trip to Hawaii or Legoland, others want to spend a day as a Marine or a superhero. But on Monday night, the foundation granted a wish like no other.
For the first time in the local chapter’s history, the organization granted a teen’s wish for independence. With help from Golden Boy Mobility in Poway, the foundation underwrote the cost of adapting a car so that 18-year-old Erin Danzer of Oceanside could drive herself.
Because of a connective tissue disease that limits her mobility, Danzer was not able to drive a car. For years she has relied on family, friends, buses and Lyft services to get to school and to her job at a local movie theater.
