__SALUTATION__
This weekend, we will celebrate Veterans Day by welcoming back the San Diego Veterans Day Parade for the first time since 2019!
San Diego County is home to a large military community, from Camp Pendleton down to the Marine Corps Recruitment Depot and Naval Base Coronado.
I have had the privilege of representing parts of our military community in #AD77 since I was elected to the Assembly in 2018, and as a member of the Military and Veterans Affairs Committee. I look forward to honoring all of California's service members this weekend.
Cheers,
Assemblymember Tasha Boerner
Assemblymember, 77th District
P.S. My office is available every day to talk with you about your concerns or help connect you with resources. You can reach us at (760) 434-7605 or Assemblymember.Boerner@assembly.ca.gov.
La Jolla Village Merchants Association Swearing-In Ceremony
This week, I helped to administer an oath to swear in the new Board Members of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association, who manage the La Jolla Business Improvement District within the City of San Diego.
The La Jolla Village Merchants Association supports local business owners and encourages customers to shop small. They are instrumental in activating the community with special events like their First Friday Art Walks and Best of La Jolla Walking Tours. Congratulations to the new Board Members!
Hokulea Crew Celebration at the Maritime Museum of San Diego
#TeamTasha visited the Maritime Museum of San Diego this week to celebrate the crew of the Hokulea Moananuiākea, a traditional Polynesian voyaging expedition in which a team of highly skilled navigators circumnavigate the globe using only traditional navigation techniques.
The purpose of the voyage is to amplify the vital importance of our oceans, nature, science and indigenous wisdom. The Hokulea has made 15 major voyages in 50 years thanks to the Polynesian Voyaging Society. Congratulations on a job well done!
Encinitas 101 Mainstreet Association Installation Dinner
I joined the members of Encinitas 101 Mainstreet Association to celebrate the installation of their new Board members for the 2023-2024 year. Thank you to the Board for cultivating a downtown that is vibrant and bustling with local businesses while also maintaining the character of historic Encinitas.
I look forward to seeing the work of the incoming Board members as they contribute to supporting the downtown Encinitas that we all know and love!
