Rita and her husband, Jerry (of blessed memory) were both very active board members of SCAC and ardent educators who shared their hopes and dreams of a new San Carlos Branch Library.

(I thought I would put that in all caps to be really enthusiastic about it.) The City will fully own the land needed to build the new branch library. Once construction funding is identified the project is on track to start construction in 2025.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">For more information on the Councilman\u2019s involvement with our District 7 communities and the people within it, you can go to his website: <a href=\"http:\/\/sandiego.gov\/citycouncil\/cd7\">sandiego.gov\/citycouncil\/cd7<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Elections for the SCAC are coming up in May we need more Board members. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Whether you are new to our area or have lived here for a long time attend our bi-monthly meetings and if you would like to get involved contact me at: SanCarlosAreaCouncilPres@gmail.com.
