Taste of the Triangle
EdUCate’s 25th anniversary celebration at the Taste of the Triangle on May 3 was a vibrant and mouthwatering affair held at Pirch Westfield UTC. The venue was the perfect setting for 16 local restaurants, as each showcased their tastes in each of Pirch’s display kitchens. Guests, including San Diego Unified School District Supervisor Cindy Marten, board member John Lee Evans, local school principals, and many school teachers, enjoyed the tastes, music, silent auction and overall relaxing evening with the community. Along with the VIP reception, the Taste of the Triangle was able to raise more than $41,000 toward supporting University of California area public schools. The annual fundraiser is helping EdUCate make its goal of raising $2 million by 2020. To learn more about EdUCate, go to uc-educate.org. Community Plan Update

Our Mother of Confidence Catholic Church will be presenting the next Brown Bag Opera on Sunday, May 19, starting at 1 p.m. This month’s opera is that of “Rodelinda,” one of Handel’s greatest dramas, seen in Stephen Wadsworth’s 2004 Metropolitan Opera premiere production. Rodelinda is faced with an impossible dilemma: With her husband Bertarido believed dead, she either has to marry the despised Grimoaldo (the elegant Joseph Kaiser), who has usurped her husband’s throne, or see him murder her son. For more information, visit omcsandiego.org.
But Bertarido (leading countertenor Andreas Scholl) is alive and eventually reclaims both throne and wife — and makes peace with his enemies. Bring your own lunch to this free event at OMC, 3131 Governor Drive. Info at: omcsandiego.org
