President's Letter: March 2015

As we begin to head into Spring, that can only mean our 19th Annual Clairemont Garden Tour is fast approaching!

This year's Garden Tour Committee has quickly organized sponsors and gardens for our upcoming tour set for Saturday, May 2 (save the date, folks!). As you may know, this has become the Council's flagship fundraiser for the year. Without the Garden Tour, we would not be able to provide valuable funding towards our community grants which last year helped our Clairemont schools, local organizations, and seniors at LiveWell.

However, we are looking for extra volunteers for this year's tour. We usually need about 30 volunteers throughout the day to assist our homeowners and patrons by providing them a memorable experience. If you'd like to help volunteer for this year's tour, please e-mail us GardenTour@ClairemontOnline.com.

Our next Clairemont Town Council meeting will be held Thursday, March 5th at 6:30pm. The City of San Diego's Public Works Department will present on some upcoming sewer and water main restoration. Also, we will hear a presentation on the city's recently proposed Climate Action Plan. There are also two Bylaw proposals we will review, which include an update to our Council's Code of Conduct, as well as a revision of our Director District boundaries.

Also, we have two openings for Director-at-Large positions on our Town Council Board of Directors. Doesn't matter what part of Clairemont you live in, so long as you're a CTC member in good standing. We hope to interview potential candidates at our next board meeting on March 26th at 6:30pm inside the Cadman Library. If you're interested in serving on our awesome Board, please e-mail Board@ClairemontOnline.com.

As always, we encourage participation in our community with the Clairemont Town Council, so if you haven't already updated, renewed, or joined the Clairemont Town Council you're always welcome! For more information on joining the Town Council, please visit ClairemontOnline.com/Join.

Working for you, Clairemont!
