150th Celebration Kickoff Festival was a hit!
Our 150th kickoff celebration on January 28th was a big hit. In the morning, members gathered to visit on the lower patio and enjoy the sunshine. Our sound therapist Terry provided healing sound sessions, which were very popular, while others enjoyed the meandering magician and fascinating historical art show by John Keasler, which lined the walls of Bard Hall.
Soon enough it was time for our short program in the Meeting House with special music and visiting dignitaries. Highlights included a message from council member Chris Ward (a church member) and San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria, who provided a special proclamation. Read more and view photos.

From My Eyes: A Day at the Diaper Pantry, by Sebastian Hochgesang, 10 years old
My name is Sebastian. I'm 10 years old and I go to Martin Elementary. We have been volunteering at the Diaper Pantry since it first opened. My mom and I started volunteering about a year and a half ago. In the beginning, it was a little bit hard, but eventually I got used to it. It was nice to know other people in the community. And my mom and I usually go for a treat after we volunteer. Read more.
