San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy receives donation The San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, chosen as a charity of choice by the Pacific Beach Buffalo Exchange, has received a donation of nearly $400 through Buffalo’s “Tokens for Bags” community-based giving program. Through the program, shoppers are offered a token in place of a bag at checkout, which they can donate to local charities.
The cashier explains to the customer that Buffalo Exchange is a plastic-bagless company and for each token, it donates 5 cents (the cost of a bag) to charity. The customer then drops their token into one of three charity boxes. Chosen by more than 7,729 customers, the conservancy received their check for $386.47, from the six-month period ending June 30.  MBHS Class of 1962 55th reunion

On Sept. 17, a memorial will be held at Winston’s Beach Club from 1 to 5 p.m. in honor of Aristotle Georgio, who passed away on Aug. 2. Georgio was a musician who has been playing at OB venues since the ’70s. He spent his career moving from band to band; he played the harmonica for a number of local groups, including BB King, Bo Diddley, and The Almond Brothers. Georgio was a well-known figure in Ocean Beach — some referred to him as the “Mayor of OB,” due to his expansive personality and Southern charm. His friend, Paul Bolton, described him as “quite the character.”
