The next meeting of the San Carlos Area Council (SCAC) will be Wednesday, Sept. 5, at 6:30 p.m. at the San Carlos Branch Library 7265 Jackson Drive. We will be meeting monthly and please note the new time. Our focus will be on the elected officials\u2019 representatives and of course the fire and police departments.<\/p>\n
Our monthly meetings will alternate between more in-depth reports from elected officials\u2019 representatives one meeting and the next month\u2019s meeting will have a speaker as the focus, however, elected official office representatives will be invited to provide brief updates.<\/p>\n
Plan Maestro de Parques<\/strong><\/p>\n The city of San Diego\u2019s Parks Master Plan is a three-year planning effort to shape our future parks, recreation facilities and programs over the next 20 to 30 years. I attended the public outreach meetings and was very vocal in wanting an off-leash dog park in the San Carlos area and rest benches for those of us who are \u201cchallenged,\u201d and yet want to walk about our beautiful area. Walking and swimming are two of the most beneficial ways to exercise \u2014 and generally do not cost much money. But we need to rest and catch our breath or let our bones settle in.<\/p>\n I also stated that we need more sports fields and would like to see a skateboard area for our youth. I do believe I was heard, and now let\u2019s see how we do. Don\u2019t give up on our getting an off-leash dog park \u2014 stay with me on this.<\/p>\n Festival de m\u00fasica y fuegos artificiales del lago Murray<\/strong><\/p>\n The fireworks were even more spectacular than last year\u2019s (which were fabulous). You can still make a financial donation to this 501(c)(3) organization to help fund next year\u2019s event. Please make your check payable to \u201cLake Murray Fireworks\u201d and send it to: Lake Murray Fireworks C\/O SCAC, Attn: Tracy Dahlkamp, PO Box 19246, San Diego, CA 92159.<\/p>\n San Carlos sign<\/strong><\/p>\n The \u201cWelcome to San Carlos\u201d sign has been fixed! Government works slowly, and I believe our Councilmember Scott Sherman just wanted one more thing to do, so I understand that he just rolled up his sleeves and did it. Way to go, Scott! The sign is very nice. Thank you.<\/p>\n Membership<\/strong><\/p>\n
