Does that phrase sound like a sales pitch? Some might consider it as such… e.g. our trying to get you to help out—as if it were a burden. We look at this however, as an opportunity for you to get involved with us—and experience the rich rewards of giving ourselves to serve both our community and our guests alike.
That’s right, volunteering is something that you will undoubtedly find very rewarding through the pride and satisfaction that you made a difference.
As we head into 2012 please consider the many opportunities we have for you to share your experience and talents. If you’re more likely to lend an occasional hand wherever it’s needed please let us know. We promise to not contact you too often 
. We have something for everyone—so, please get involved. You’ll not only have a great experience, you’ll also help build a better Pacific Beach!
Just send us an email and we’ll contact you asap.

Pacific Beach schools, like those all over San Diego (and beyond), are struggling with district budget cuts and even threatened school closures. Parents are rallying to contribute in any way they can, and even community members without school-age children can help.
From now through at least the end of December, 2011, Discover Pacific Beach and San Diego Weekly Markets will rebate 5% of the dollars you spend at the Pacific Beach Tuesday Farmers’ Market to the PB school of your choice. Just ask the farmers and vendors for receipt tickets when you shop, then deposit them in your school’s bin at the Information Booth. Keep your grocery money in your neighborhood and help local kids. Amazing farm-fresh food is the icing on the take.

We sent this letter to the San Diego Unified School District and urge you to contact our local school board representative Mr. Scott Barnett sbarnett@sandi.net and stress to him your thoughts about this vitally important issue.
Dear School Board Member:
Many of our members have approached the Board of Directors of our Pacific Beach Town Council with concerns for the future of our schools, their long-established specialized programs and our school cluster.
Our members concerns include yet are not limited to:
- The critical concern that Board of Education decisions are being hastily offered and considered without minimal parent or community support.
- That, when specifically considering closing the Pacific Beach Middle School (PBMS) site, the most centrally located in the community, this decision would likely result in many negative impacts. We are concerned, that you have not taken time to study potential negative impacts on our community including the majority of students needing to be driven to campus, the resulting traffic congestion and other public safety issues.
- A closure of either our PBMS or our Mission Bay High School (MBHS) would directly and negatively counter the concept of providing nearby neighborhood schools.
- We are gravely concerned that, if enrollment at both the middle and high schools is reduced, the International Baccalaureate (IB) program would not be allowed to continue under their existing certification requirements. Our members and residents have heard that, by reducing campus sizes so significantly, the result would be the discontinuance of the IB program—as it would not be sustainable.
- We would love to consider a YMCA joint use project that would eventually augment our PBMS school campus with a swimming pool, soccer field and sports facility.
The Pacific Beach Town Council and our nearly five-hundred residential and business members do not support the Board of Education’s position of closing ANY schools in the Mission Bay Cluster. Nor do we support any effort that would discontinue our IB program in any of our schools.
We believe your taking either action would have a significant negative impact on our cluster, our community and ultimately our students—who have placed their trust in us to provide them the best education possible in their local schools.
Finally, we believe that all ‘Prop S’ funds previously allocated to the Mission Bay Cluster should remain within the cluster and on schedule, regardless of any changes imposed on our community with or without our support.
We appreciate the difficulties you face but, also sincerely hope that you will respect our community and members beliefs as you make such important decisions that may very well adversely affect our community.
Sincerely,
Pacific Beach Town Council
Joe Wilding
President

- Shop at the market every Tuesday, from 2 pm to 6:30 pm, on Bayard Street from Garnet to Hornblend. More than 60 farmers and vendors offer locally grown fruits and vegetables, grass fed beef, fish, eggs, cheese and coffee beans, fresh-baked bread, peanut butter and more.

Members of the Pacific Beach community at the Pacific Beach Town Council annual community forums have raised the issue of RVs and trailers cluttering our residential streets during the day and parking overnight, thereby creating safety and health issues, monopolizing parking, thereby impacting individual’s quality of life. The Safe & Beautiful Committee of the Pacific Beach Town Council has been intimately involved for almost 4 years now, working with Councilmember Faulconer and his staff to bring this issue to a resolution.
CouncilmemberFaulconer is ready to bring his Oversized Vehicle Ordinance Amendment solution to the Land Use & Housing Committee of the City Council sometime in October, date not yet determined. We will need a BIG turnout to speak up at this Committee meeting for those who are interested in seeing an Over Sized Vehicle Ordnance Amendment enacted in Pacific Beach.

MISSION BAY PARK — San Diego Police Department Capt. Al Guaderrama experienced an annual Pacific Beach tradition for the first time Wednesday afternoon, and he came away more than impressed.
Guaderrama, in his first year as captain of the department’s Northern Division, was among about 150 people on hand for the 31st annual Police and Emergency Services Appreciation Night, an event that has been sponsored by the Pacific Beach Town Council since 1981.
“It’s actually overwhelming,” Guaderrama said. “What the community does and how it works with the police department, it’s unbelievable.” more »

Join us along with OMBAC, Rotary and the PB Woman’s Club to honor our Police, Fire-Rescue and Parks and Recreation officers and teams who do a fantastic job of keeping us safe and sound.
Click here for our Police and Emergency Services Appreciation Night (PAESAN) flyer and help spread the word.
This is our chance to honor those who serve our community so come on out, meet these people and your neighbors. Bring the kids as we’ll have lots to do for them too!
Donations can be made to support the PB Town Council and PAESAN agencies. Click here to visit our donation page or to buy tickets at only $5 each.
Police Bicycle Resource Fundraising Program
This year we’re conducting a special fundraising program to support our Northern Division Police Department. Our goal is to buy police bicycle lights, sirens and back bag kits for nine bicycles they already own. This equipment costs about $600 per bike as police must use a certain level of approved equipment for their safety as well as ensure people they are contacting can easily identify them as peace officers.
Please consider making a donation from our Join/Give page or, by making a check out to the San Diego Police Foundation in care of The PAESAN Bicycle Program.

This is Pacific Beach Town Council’s 60th year in service to our community. We hope you’ll join us and celebrate all the good we have done as an organization and look forward to all the good we can do together.
This is an important time for the Town Council as we need to raise the funds needed to maintain our office and continue to serve the community through our many service committees and opportunities.
This event is particularly exciting because we have a large amount of items we will be offering in a Silent Auction. You’ll find things like massages, games, hotel stays, a wide variety of gifts and a plethora of items that we’ve grouped together. Your donations will benefit our local schools & community throughout the year. Not only can you find a lot of great things, have a great time celebrating with the community, you’ll also be contributing to an organization that has a rich history of serving Pacific Beach.
