The Brains Behind the Clairemont Community News

Janett Lewis
Director North
Chair, Communications Committee

From time to time we bring you a unique interview with an interesting person in the Clairemont community.

This week we got the chance to sit in with the dynamic Janet Miller, energetic and insightful publisher behind the Clairemont Community News. Janet took the time to tell us a little bit about her vision for the Clairemont community and how she became the publisher and editor-in-chief of its most stellar newspaper.

Janett Lewis: What are you most passionate about?

Janet Miller: Well, I got engaged this week; I’m excited about that. I’m very into words, reading and writing. I’m passionate about Clairemont, at least making Clairemont more of the place I’d like to live. One thing that I think is missing is public art, which is a big deal to me and I’m distressed that we don’t have anything like that in Clairemont. I’d love to see more of that happen. I’m excited about the small community theater group that started here in the last couple of years. I’m excited about helping them. I’d like Clairemont to be not so much “Squaremont,” but a little more cultural.

Changes in Clairemont

Walking down Clairemont Dr.
I spotted this one day. Clairemont
Is so beautiful!

Things are changing in Clairemont. We will be releasing our newsletter the Monday before the general meeting. It will serve as a reminder and an update to the community! Be sure your name is on the email signup if you are not getting our newsletters.

We will be interviewing a person of interest monthly. Someone not well known but effective & influential in the community. Please let us know if you have anyone in mind or if you would like to be interviewed and spotlighted in our newsletter.

If you haven't already liked our Facebook Page please do. It's probably the best way to stay up to date on all things Clairemont Town Council!

There are some special plans in the works, a Clairemont Beautification Project. We are actually trying to come up with a name. Some of the words we like are renaissance, beautification, restoration and rejuvenation. Do you have a creative mind? If so please let us know what you think would be a great name for a project that will make Clairemont more beautiful. As the project progresses we will be reaching out to the community to help put it together. Stay tuned...

Our brochure is currently getting a face lift! Once they are all printed and ready to go, I invite you to pick some up at the meetings and distribute to your neighbors. Let's get Clairemont together. Being the largest community in San Diego is great but bringing the community together is what we are all about. Let's get to know each other and support one another in creating the greatest community is San Diego.
